Next Steps for SLA's Alignment Project

 

 

Greetings San Andreas Chapter Members -  I've heard some news about next steps for the SLA Alignment Project through the SLA Leadership List. Here is a distillation of what was posted there late last month.

At the Leadership Development Institute (LDI) on Sunday, and again at the Annual SLA Business Meeting during Wednesday's Closing Session, Anne Caputo, SLA's 2010 President, addressed the renewal of the SLA Alignment Project. The focus now will be on developing:

 

1. An Alignment Toolkit - to provide pragmatic steps for units and members
2. Vision, Mission, and Core Values statements  - refreshed and revisioned 
3. Career resources - to increase the body of professional development resources 
4. Finding more revenue - to ensure fiscal health of the Association 

 

To this end, chapters’ Alignment Ambassador positions will be re-activated. 

Mary Ellen Bates, SLA 2009 President-Elect, is in charge of the Alignment Toolkit project.

More news as it happens.  And I'll post Ann's slide shows when available.

Your San Andreas Chapter Alignment Ambassadors,

Leslie Fisher and Cindy Hill.
