ALA Council

Greetings Council!   

This is a brief update to share the outcomes of the Council vote to create a plan to move forward on the SCOE/Forward Together work and organizational governance and systems change.

Transforming ALA Governance (TAG) Task Force was created and approved by the ALA Executive Board with the following charge:

The charge of this task force is to a) indicate and operationalize the culture changing principles of the Avenue M report, SCOE recommendations, the Forward Together work, and a new governance landscape, b) establish a regular governance review process, and c) assess the larger governance change-management projects and tasks that need to be addressed and create a plan to address them.

The following members were selected by the President and President-Elect and approved by the ALA Executive Board:

Chair:  Amy Lappin

Members:

Kathy Carroll

Meg Delaney

Eldon "Ray" James

Liana Juliano

Oscar Lanza-Galindo

Leroy LaFleur

The members represent Council and a number of other ALA arenas, geographic areas and types of libraries as well as diversity in a broad sense.

The team has just started working.  A number of ALA staff will be supporting and partnering in this work. They include Marsha Burgess, Raymond Garcia and Sheryl Reyes.  The Executive Board liaisons are Lessa Pelayo-Lozada and myself and Tracie Hall.

 Thank you to Chair Lappin and her team.  We look forward to the work ahead and regular communication.
