Is Council Forum open to all ALA members? I have inquiries from chairs of committees with action on the docket at Council.

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. If you have any questions, please contact Susan Jennings (Council Fora, Facilitator) Susan.Jennings@ChattanoogaState.EDU.
