All:
Please see the announcement below from Jon Martin, Program Manager at ALA's Chapter Relations Office. Even though parts of the Forum will be specific to ALA chapters, many of the topics the Forum will cover, from membership growth and DEI board management, to running conferences and financial stability, should be of interest to ACRL chapters, too. The Forum will also have a significant focus on advocacy in the current national political climate, again a topic of importance to ACRL chapters.
Thank you very much.
Eric Edwards
2022-23 ACRL Chapters Council Interim Chair
