Report received. Simoneaux explained report. Our balance as of the 24th of August is $3,164.87.
Membership:
Report received. Malek-Wiley went through points and goals made in early 2000 and our progress toward goals. There was discussion about the present state of the committee and possible changes.
Membership recruitment was discussed. LLA Liaison Anna Burns has been having health problems. Discussion about asking Nancy Colyar, Academic chair of LLA, to serve as LLA Liaison, which may heighten articulation and membership between the Academic Section and ACRL/LA was decided. First, a permanent membership committee consisting of Janette Griffin, Cathy Tijerino, Allison Sutton and Laverne Simoneaux was appointed to help Malek-Wiley with recruitment. Secondly, identifying a liaison for each institution to help with recruitment is the next order of business. Asking directors of each institution at the next director’s meeting to promote membership in ACRL/LA.
Directory:
Janette Griffin discussed the success of the publication of the directory as a money maker and its continuation. Leeseberg asks whether support staff should be included. It is decided that it should just be librarian oriented. Griffin asked for help from the board with institutional changes in address and web sites for the directory. The institutional URLs will be added to our directory this year. The new directories will be ready for sale at the Fall Conference.
Newsletter:
Sigrid Kelsey was absent. Newsletter situation discussed.
