Concern: Communication from ALA and AASL is inconsistent. Information comes from many resources, but important information isn’t always shared. One example is the recent election. Lack of participation in ALA and AASL elections is an ongoing concern. While many messages are sent soliciting votes from members, if members didn’t receive the initial email, they never received the link again. Then the results of the elections were not well communicated. The election results are on the AASL website, but their presence is not well-promoted, and no formal announcement was sent via AASLforum or ALA Connect.
Action: The Affiliate Executive Committee did not approve this concern for submission to the Affiliate Assembly body.
