<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default">Dear FACRL colleagues,</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Thank you for attending the FACRL Board meeting last week in Orlando! I appreciated the opportunity to welcome the new members of the Board, acknowledge the service of those members whose terms are expiring and reconnect with members continuing to serve in the coming year. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">As mentioned during the meeting last week, FACRL has the opportunity to license two <a href="http://www.ala.org/acrl/conferences/elearning/webcasts">ACRL webinars</a> for members each year. Live webcast events viewed jointly at a host institution provide meaningful programming to different areas of the state and increase member engagement with FACRL. If this is something you may be able to organize for your region of the state, I encourage you to contact me to discuss the details. We have two licenses remaining through August and I believe we can host multiple viewing locations (2 or 3) if there is interest for a specific program. If the dates pose a problem, we could always register and receiving the recording for group viewing and discussion at another time. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">I would also like to seek your assistance in identifying a date/time each month for the FACRL Board to devote to business matters that arise throughout the year. Please complete the following poll at your earliest convenience, but no later than Wednesday, May 24th: <a href="https://goo.gl/forms/IbgCvZytvGjdw7ED2" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">https://goo.gl/forms/IbgCvZytvGjdw7ED2</a> Thank you for your time and attention to this request. I hope it reduces the need to send multiple scheduling requests in the coming year.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Finally, the <a href="https://facrl.wildapricot.org/board">contact information for the 2017-2018 Board</a> has been posted to the FACRL website. Please take a moment to ensure that your information is up to date and accurately represented.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Thank you again for your willingness to step forward and assume leadership positions within FACRL and for your service to the Association.
