    Hi, Marsha

    Should I have known this date before? I am flying that date to see my 99-yr-old mother so won't be on the meeting – which frustrates me. Will the meeting be recorded? I also missed if there was a recording of the Sept meeting.

     

    Thanks so much for clarifying – somehow I'm missing the right info!

    Hi, Marsha,

    I apologize if this was already asked, but will the Council meetings at LibLearnX be virtual as well?

    I am very much hoping that there will be virtual access to the Council meetings and that there is some way to pay for a la carte access to the Council meetings--the same way there is to some of the LLX programs--so that Councilors who want to participate in governance work but won't be attending LLX can continue to represent their constituencies. Thank you.

    I will not be able to make the November 4th date either, as that's one of the days of Policy Corps.  Will there be a recording for us to watch/listen to after?

    This is a Marsha question, but maybe someone else has the answer.

    Apologies if I overlooked this information...Will Council meetings be at the HQ hotel or the Convention Center? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Erika, it was shared from our Conference Services team that Council will be in the convention center during LLX due to space.

     

    Please let us know if you have any other questions!
