To quote a Board colleague summarizing the Treasurer's presentation, "The surprise for most was that Net Asset Balance (NAB) does not equate to cash.

I am currently serving my second ...

Those of us providing feedback (as requested) aren't saying "don't put this forward," we're sharing the lenses we have.

I'll me-too Peter's response: "Frankly, I thought that was one of the potential benefits of holding Annual in June that we could partner with local libraries to make their Pride presence all the more resonant." One element of my dissertation on openly LGBTQIA+ academic library leaders was a timeline ...
