    Hello Library Leaders and Managers IG,

    I'm a member of the Core Interest Group Coordinating Committee. We are reviewing the Core IGs for this year and noticed your group does not have a designated Chair for the 22-23 year. If there is a new chair, please complete the May Report for IGs: https://alacore.org/handbook/interest-groups/report-form/ .   This form will ask for the new Chair when the May report is selected. Without a chair, the group will need to be dissolved.  


    If your group does not have a new Chair for this year, this may be a good time for the group to ask for volunteers to lead the group.  Please let the IG Coordinating Committee know by August 15th of the new chair for your group.  


    Thanks for your help,

    Dennis Smith
    Core IG Coordinating Committee

    Hello everyone,

    Just wanted to see if there is interest in keeping this group going? If so, I am happy to volunteer to chair or co-chair if anyone else would like to volunteer? I have found it useful to hear others' ideas and engage in conversation about challenges we are all experiencing, and hope we can continue those discussions!

    I am willing to be involved.  I was previously involved with a "New Directors" group, but things kind of got lost during the COVID shuffle. 

     

    I do think Core (particularly the former LLAMA element) really needs an IG and/or discussion board for topics in leadership and management. 

     

    Unless there is a different group elsewhere in the ALA Connect hive I'm not aware of, it seems we should try to re-establish something here.

     

    Count me in.

    Greetings, colleagues,

    I second all that has been said so far - I joined Core mostly for the LLAMA component, whatever it looks like. If I didn't already chair a Core committee, I would be willing to help run this IG, but I am thrilled to continue participating.

    Thanks,

    All,
    Sounds like there is a lot of interest in this IG continuing.  Please let me or Jenny Levine know when you have a Chair/Co-Chairs.  We'll update the list and add them to the IG Core Chairs Group for updates.
    Best,
    Dennis
