Help us shape the future of the Association!; American Library Association, 3/9/10

American Library Association; Help us shape the future of the Association! [The information below was sent as an email message.]:

Dear Colleague:

We would like to invite you to help shape the future of our Association.

ALA is currently in the process of developing a new strategic plan that will guide us for the next five years. At this point, we need your help to ensure that the plan represents the best thinking of all our members.

The planning process began over a year ago with a member survey. Since then, we have conducted an environmental scan, held meetings with elected leaders to develop draft goals and objectives, and solicited comments and suggestions from hundreds of ALA groups. Now, it is time to come back to you.

We are very much interested in your thoughts and comments, and will incorporate them in the plan as it goes to the ALA Executive Board and then to ALA Council for adoption this summer. Five years ago, over 2,500 groups and individual members submitted comments and helped shape the Ahead to 2010 plan. Now, we are asking you to help shape our 2015 plan.

To review the plan and comment, please visit http://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/39dfg43753 and complete a brief questionnaire on the plan. Comments may be submitted through Friday, March 19th.

For more information on the 2015 and 2010 plans, including the environmental scan and member survey results, see http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/missionhistory/plan/2015/index.cfm

Thank you for your help as we plan for the future,

Camila Alire
President

Keith Michael Fiels
Executive Director
