Hello ALA Councilor,
2025 Virtual Membership Information Session, Tuesday, January 14th , 3:00 - 4:00 pm CT - Register here
Membership Information Sessions are integral to ALA's continuous effort to engage members and facilitate input regarding strategic direction, budget priorities, and areas of interest. Attendees will receive updates from the President and other ALA leaders, providing an overview of recent developments within ALA and a status report on the association. Following these presentations, there will be a chance for members to discuss topics of their choosing. It is important to note that this session is solely for reporting purposes, and no resolutions will be accepted.
I am happy to provide the agenda and documents, which are now available here and attached to this message. Please note that documents labeled (TK) will be uploaded later.
