Hello AAAL members,

Thank you so much for taking the time to join the online version of our Fall 2020 meeting, hosted by Red Deer College.  We are very interested to hear your feedback about your experience, and any suggestions about future content for our Spring Meeting.  Please find the survey here. It will remain open until January 5, 2021.

Also, please consider if your institution is interested in hosting the Spring 2021 Meeting. We anticipate that this meeting will also be held virtually, so this may be a great opportunity for those members who are limited by travel. If you would like to put your name forward or have any questions about what hosting entails, please connect with Madelaine (AAAL Chair) mvanderwerff@mtroyal.ca

A few additional notes/reminders about the meeting:

• There has been a lot of follow up about where folks can view presentations. The Learning and Development Committee is currently working with presenters to seek permission to share their slides.  Expect a blog post, as well as a link to select presentations in the minutes. And consider signing up for the AAAL newsletter to receive the latest and greatest updates from the organization.

• If you are interested in joining the Reintegration Basecamp forum, to share information about library operations during the pandemic, please connect with Brian Lin (blin@thealbertalibrary.ab.ca) or Kelley Wadson (kwadson@bowvalleycollege.ca)

• We are still seeking expressions of interest to serve as Secretary on the Executive Board (2-year term) and the Statistics and Assessment Sub-Committee (2-year term).  Please reach out to Alison Foster if you are interested (fostera25@macewan.ca).

Thank you in advance for your time. And we wish everyone a restful Winter break.

Sincerely,

The AAAL Executive + Committee Members
