Dear Ann and all who have participated in this discussion,
I would like to thank everyone who has participated in this
discussion--this is why ARLIS/NA works. And I'd like to thank Ann and
the ARLIS/NA Executive Board for listening to the needs of the Chapters.
Thanks for being so responsive!
I am sure I speak for many of us who weren't happy with the proposals as
they stood.
Best,
EW

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Responses to Chapter Affiliation
Dear ARLIS/NA members,
I want to let you know that the Board is hearing your very real concerns
that the various members and chapter leaders over the course of the last
few days about chapter affiliation.
The Board wants to apologize for making a decision about the collection
of chapter dues in a manner that has left so many people feeling
disenfranchised. The Board has rescinded its vote to collect chapter
dues centrally so that we can have a productive and profitable
discussion with the leaders and members of the chapters.
We would like to take another couple of days to further review your
comments, and to discuss our next steps as a Board and with all of you.
We will provide further information about our rationale behind the
affiliation agreement, answer the questions about the agreement that
have come forward, and begin a process to work through the other issues
that you have brought to us.
Thank you all very much for your comments, your concern, and your
thoughts on all these issues.
Sincerely,
Ann Whiteside and the ARLIS/NA Board
