    Dear Council Members,

    The ALA Council is set to convene in a hybrid manner at the 2024 Annual Conference taking place from Saturday to Monday, June 29th to July 1st. All council-related agendas and materials are accessible on ALA Connect and the ALA Council Website.

    Voting Credentials
    ALA Council members will be sent an email containing their voting credentials by the ALA Governance Office, which should be used for all Council meetings. In case you do not receive your voting credentials by Tuesday, June 24th, kindly reach out to the ALA Governance Office. Remember not to share or forward your voting credentials as they are specific to your voting history.

    Digital Participants

    Establishing the Quorum
    Please ensure that all participants, whether attending in person or digitally, click on your voting credentials to virtually check in and notify us of your attendance.

    Printed Documents

    Items to Bring
    Please remember to bring your tablet, laptop, or handheld device to make the most of your time at the Council. Don't forget to pack water, a jacket or sweater, and your power cords. If you have any specific needs, reach out to the ALA Governance Office at governance@ala.org.

    Good morning, I trust you are anticipating a great time in San Diego. Just an FYI, the attachments 28.2 and 28.6 are the same, the RUSA, June 2024 report.

     

    Be well and safe travel.
