----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ------------------ Dear Colleagues, The membership survey results are now on the ARLIS/NA web site. What did you tell us? You told us leadership, professional development, conferences, and streamlining the organizational structure are important. The complete responses to the Member Survey can be found on the ARLIS/NA Web Site. The Executive Board, at its Mid-Year Board meeting (held in Berkeley, California October 1-2, 1999), worked with Task Force Co-Chair Jane Carlin and Executive Director Howard Adler to prioritize focus areas as well as re-think the organization of the plan. The results of our discussions include a commitment to: A plan which is clearly tied to the ARLIS/NA budget A plan which is clearly and easily measurable A plan with clear and specific time frames A dynamic plan which raises the profile of ARLIS/NA In the next few months we will continue to work with these concepts to prepare a draft strategic plan. We will be contacting committees, sections, divisions, and round tables about creating the actions steps for our new plan and we still want, and need your input. We urge you to join us in Pittsburgh at the AskARLIS session on Sunday, March 19 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. that will focus on moving ARLIS/NA into the 21st Century. ARLIS/NA=92s future is in all our hands.
