Membership Committee Report
Submitted by Kit Willis, Chair
- Susan Lynn phoned or emailed 16 of the 17 new CLA members for May, and received 2 emails thanking her for the contact.
- Thanks to the excellent work of Marsha Schnirring, a new CLA Student Round Table has formed. Marsha worked closely with Laura Fisher to write, circulate, and submit a petition to form the new round table, and she will serve as its interim chair. Membership in this round table is free and open to all CLA voting members and experienced library professionals.
- Working closely with Laura Fisher, Kit Willis wrote a welcome letter that Laura will email each month to new ALA/CLA student members.
- Along with Margaret Miles and Sue Negreen, Kit Willis attended ALA's one-day pre-conference workshop, "Developing and Growing Your Membership in the New Realities of the 21st Century." In preparation for this workshop the three worked collaboratively on a survey about various aspects of CLA's membership program, and agreed that membership retention is the main area that needs attention.
