    Good morning all from bright and sunny Tennessee!

     While I wish we were doing this in person in lovely Chicago, I am excited for ALA Virtual this upcoming week. 

    Tonight, we will be having Council Forum 1 via Zoom.  This meeting will be 1 hour.  I will be the Host Facilitator tonight and will have Toni Negro and Dora Ho as my two speaker Coordinators.  If you wish to be put on the agenda to speak, please let me know in advance by sending me a quick email with the subject line: Council Forum 1 – Agenda Item.

    As a reminder:

    Council, Council Fora (multiple of Forum) is an organic, informal gathering of Councilors and movers of resolutions. This is a safe environment where everyone may speak and where all voices will be heard.

    Council Fora is an optional meeting for Councilors and is intended to provide information and advice on resolutions coming before the body.  This gathering allows for:

    • Councilors to ask questions about policies, procedures, or Robert's Rules of Order related to Council or ALA in general
    • Networking with Councilors
    • Resolution makers to get feedback from Council Colleagues on resolutions they will be bringing to Council for consideration
    • Councilors to get their questions answered regarding resolutions or issues that will be brought before Council for consideration.

     What Council Forum is NOT:

     A replacement for debate on the Council Floor

    • A voting event
    • A place for formal debate
    • A place that will decide a vote
    • A substitute for Council decisions

     Essence notes will be provided for those not in attendance.
