The ALA Executive Board is appointing a working group to evaluate, assess, and make recommendations to the ALA Operating Agreement that defines the relationship between ALA and Divisions. Specifically, the WG will examine how the existing Operating Agreement is fulfilling the mission and values of the association, as well as the financial structure that supports the joint and individual goals of the Association and Divisions. In addition, the WG will examine the relationship between ALA and the Roundtables and will provide recommendations that guide that relationship as well. The Operating Agreement values unity, diversity, authority, autonomy, and collaboration. These values will guide the WG in its assessment and communication.
