  • 1.  PBA Town Hall

    Posted May 13, 2025 11:15 AM

    I invite you to join me for a PBA town hall to be held on Tuesday, May 27, from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM PDT/ 1:00 PM-2:00 PM CDT.  To register for the session, please use this link:   ala-events.zoom.us/meeting/register/...

    In the past few months, a working group that included Executive Board member Karen Schneider, BARC chair Tamika Barnes, and BARC member Katy O'Neill and I have worked on potential models for PBA in the future.  The culmination of that work has been the recommendation that PBA be dissolved and that its functions be accounted for otherwise within the association.  However, before a formal recommendation be moved and voted on, we would like to gather feedback from PBA itself as well as from stakeholder units.  The town hall on May 27 will be one such opportunity.

    Attendees may pre-submit questions by end of day on Friday, May 23, at this link:  forms.gle/9UM4yN3xLjYGF4cQA
