Report to the PLA Board of Directors

Committee/Advisory Group/Task Force report to be included on the PLA Board of Directors Meeting Consent Agenda

Due March 15 (for the Spring Board Meeting) and September 1 (for the Fall Board Meeting) each year. If these dates fall on Saturday or Sunday, the deadline will be the following Monday.

The purpose of this report is to bring the Board up to date on your work and to tie it to the PLA Strategic Plan. This report is not intended to be exhaustive, so please keep your responses as brief and concise as possible. This report will be included in the PLA Board consent agenda for the Spring Board meeting and the Fall Board meeting, which will be posted to the PLA Public Resource Library site on ALA Connect. Also, your report will be automatically posted to the PLA Committee/Advisory Group/Task Force Reports portal, where it will be publicly accessible. Please note: if you have an action item for the Board's consideration, i.e., an item that requires Board approval to move forward due to policy and/or financial implications or request of a special nature, please contact the PLA office no later than 48 hours prior to the Board meeting and preferably sooner.

Does not include PLA Award Juries, Budget & Finance Committee, or Nominating Committees.
