<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPlease note that the Awards Program Review agenda item will be held in Executive Session due to partnership, sponsorship, and other privileged information that requires confidential discussion.\u00a0I realize many ALSC members may not able to attend the Board meetings during conference, but having access to the aforementioned documents allows you to stay updated on policies, issues, and discussion topics influencing the work of the Association. ALSC\u2019s work and success stems from committee activity and the passion and engagement of the individual members reflected in many of these reports.<\/p>\n
A Sincere Thank YOU<\/strong><\/p>\nI hope to see many of you at ALA Annual in June. \u00a0As this is my final blog post as ALSC President (President Elect Cecilia McGowan will be seated at the end of the ALSC Board Meeting II on Tuesday of ALA Annual), I would like to earnestly thank the ALSC Board for their conscientious deliberations, the ALSC staff for their diligent dedication and unwavering commitment, and the many actively-engaged ALSC members for their time and talent. Collectively, you\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>are all helping move our association forward as we strive to engage communities to build healthy, successful futures for all\u00a0<\/u>children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Warmly,<\/p>\n

There will be a variety of amazing opportunities for ALSC members to attend professional development workshops and network with each other. There have been several ALSC blog posts with suggestions on places to eat, visit, and a call from our ALSC Blog Editor, Mary Voors for volunteer bloggers during conference. However, I want to highlight a few meetings and events within ALSC and beyond that you might want to consider if you plan to attend ALA Annual. Your ALSC Board of Directors will also be hard at work in our multiple board meetings, considering various items to move our Association strategically forward. I\u2019ll emphasize a few of those later…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":293,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[1739,52,1562,1613],"tags":[1752,1766,1765],"class_list":["post-21191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ala-annual-2019","category-alsc-board","category-blogger-jamie-campbell-naidoo","category-professionalism-and-professional-development","tag-2019-ala-annual","tag-board-work","tag-president"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/293"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21191\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
