    Subject: [alacoun] Call for Volunteers: the Next Phase of Forward Together WG

     

    The following message is sent on behalf of American Library Association President Julius C. Jefferson, Jr.

     

    Dear ALA Council,

     

    During the December 3rd Virtual Council Meeting, ALA Council approved CD #52 New Timeline of Forward Together.

    The approved motion included "...the ALA President appoint a new Task Force to analyze the FTWG report and make recommendations for Council's consideration"

     

    Charge:

    The newly appointed Working Group will develop resolutions based on the Forward Together Working Group analysis and report. The resolutions will include the various parameters of the proposed new structure at a conceptual (i.e.: non-Bylaws) level.  Council will debate on the various components via the resolution and will continue to work in the development of the resolutions virtually with the goal to bring forward for vote at subsequent Council meetings.

     

    Call for Councilor Volunteers: If you are a Councilor interested to serve on this new working group, please complete this form https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XHL2SQY by Friday, December 18.

     

    Thank you for your interest and continued commitment to the governance of ALA.

     

    Julius C. Jefferson, Jr., ALA President
