SLA Guest Leader Editorial
Leadership and Management Division Chair Lois Weinstein posted an article to the leadership list about the Future of SLA. It gives her perspective of how SLA and all of the members who care about their association can contribute to its bright future. It also answers a key question raised after Executive Director Janice Lachance's "state of the association" address at Leadership Summit: "I heard Janice's comments, I care about making a difference, but what is my call to action?" Lois' article has been placed in the Bulletin Editors Resource Center and she has invited all chapters and divisions to consider including this article in your next bulletin.
SLA to Change Governance Year
The SLA Board of Directors has approved changing the governance year to match the fiscal year and has asked staff to implement this change for FY07. The Board of Directors will be extending terms beginning June 2006 to December 2007. The Board leaves the decision to individual units. However, the Chapter Cabinet Chair and Chair-Elect recommend that units, if possible, follow the Board's schedule.
