Concern: The Directors and Regional Representatives of AASL need to be in direct communication with the members of their regions. The job descriptions of both positions require access to members and state listservs. Some states have information disbursed through their state AASL organization; some receive it through their state ALA chapter. This disconnect makes communication difficult.
Action Requested: Contact all state affiliates and ALA in order to Provide Directors and Regional Representatives with complimentary memberships both in the various AASL state organizations and in the ALA chapters within their region for the duration of their position.
Status: Both the Affiliate Assembly Coordinating Team and the Affiliate Assembly body approved this concern. It was sent to the AASL Board.
