Dear ARLIS/NA & ARLIS-L Colleagues,
I'd like to add a "credits and kudos" note to Ed's message
about new significant content on the ARLIS/NA web site.
25th ANNUAL CONFERENCE: The Preliminary Program is currently
under review/revision; it will be printed and mailed to
ARLIS/NA members in early December.
Conference co-chairs for local arrangements are Robert Beebe
and Ann Jones; co-chairs for program Jeannette Dixon and Allen
Townsend. Many others in the Texas Chapter are also
participating, and I commend the efforts to date of
the four co-chairs as well as Pat Blackman (tours), Sam Duncan
(internet room), Phil Heagy (exhibits), Milan Hughston (fund
raising), Laura Schwartz (registration), Marti Stein
(hospitality suite), and Janine Henri (Texas Chapter President,
and Executive Board Regional Representative to the South Region).
STRATEGIC PLAN: Paper copies of the updated Plan will soon be
mailed to all group leaders and paper copies will be available
upon request from HQ (for any who cannot retrieve it from the
web site, that is!). The Plan includes, as Ed indicates,
several special features including the list of Action Items
arranged by ARLIS/NA working group with primary responsibility
for completing the action; there is also an index of all
working groups with notation of Action Items with which a group
will be involved on both primary and secondary levels.
These documents are the cumulation of significant effort and
time commitment by the Strategic Planning Task Force first
charged and appointed in early 1995. I take special pleasure
in recognizing the contributions of Task Force members Susan
Annett, Jeanne Brown, Janis Ekdahl, Trudy Jacoby, Howard Karno,
Roger Lawson, Martha Mahard, Allen Townsend, Murray Waddington,
and Heidi Winston at the completion of this planning
initiative.
And, ... many thanks, once again, to Ed Teague for his
continuous work on expanding and refining the ARLIS/NA web site!
