Thank you to everyone who was able for attending our series of virtual input sessions from the Steering Committee on Organizational Effectiveness (SCOE). Your participation and feedback has been and continues to be instrumental in the creation of remodeling recommendations and we look forward to continuing to hear your thoughts and feedback.
Recordings of the webinars are now available in the SCOE ALA Connect Group. The first session on Roundtables has experienced some technical difficulties so ALA Staff are still working on it's editing and we will get it up as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy the other three sessions.
Our first round of feedback will end on Saturday, May 4th so that we may synthesize and distill the feedback into an integrated model that we will share with everyone in June. Links to input session specific forms are below. If you would like to provide feedback between May 5th and the release of the draft model ahead of annual, please feel free to email me at
lessalozada@gmail.com or reply through Connect and your feedback will be taken into consideration for the next round of refinements and changes to the recommended model.
And if you haven't already, please join our
SCOE ALA Connect Group to receive the latest updates and information about the committee's work. We will also be holding 5 feedback sessions during ALA Annual in Washington, D.C. and a virtual feedback session in July. The Annual sessions are currently in the scheduler under "ALA Remodel Recommendations Input Session with the Steering Committee on Organizational Effectiveness (SCOE)".
We look forward to continuing our conversation and move towards a stronger, greater, American Library Association.
All the best,
Lessa Pelayo-Lozada
SCOE Chair
