Report from February 26 Board Meeting

Eric Resnis, President

Website Redesign Project

The board approved to enter into a contract with Merge Creative for assistance with redesigning the ALAO web presence.  Merge Creative works extensively with customers that use Wild Apricot, which ALAO uses to manage webpages and membership data.

Approved New Sustainability Interest Group

The board approved to create a new interest group that focuses on sustainability issues in libraries.

Online Meeting Software Working Group

A group of board members was formed to determine if it is feasible for ALAO to purchase or subscribe to meeting software that would be used for virtual board meetings and online programming. A report will be presented at the April Board Meeting.

Strategic Planning Update

ALAO membership will be e-mailed a brief survey in March that seeks feedback on the future of ALAO.  We are still on track for a final strategic plan to be presented to the Board at the July retreat.
