Al,
We'll start a more official thread as soon as we can to collect feedback from SRRT about the program assessment. Rachel & I will also remind folks of our contact info in case anyone would prefer to send their feedback that way.
From there, we'll share with Hillary the feedback we gather, and then the program assessment (along with any further recommendations & context per aforementioned feedback) will be submitted for next steps, i.e. review by ALA Executive Board, Committee on Organizations, and Awards Committee.
The program assessment is not originating from SRRT or SRRT Action Council, but rather, our staff liaison was tasked with putting this together, so no vote will be made/needed. Instead, we are sharing as much context, feedback, etc. as we can with Hillary, so that she can represent SRRT needs & interests to the best of her ability.
Thanks,
Olivia

As I said at the Action Council meeting today, I was taken aback when I read the Assessment document today. It seems that there is a short timeframe to send this in. But never mind, the Action Council must vote on the final version before submitting it. That could be done on Connect if the time is too short to wait until the next Action Council meeting.
