CLA joins the Association Resource Center
On December 1st, 2009, the California Library Association officially entered into contract with the Association Resource Center (ARC) in Folsom, CA.
The Association Resource Center (www.4arc.com) specializes in association conference planning, management, and providing operational resources to the businesses it serves. Utilizing ARC's resources, CLA will be able to accelerate its revitalizion as an association, thanks in part to ARC's talented staff, wealth of knowledge pooled from multiple associations under contract as well as nearly 30 years of association management experience.
Utilizing this "economies of scale" model, CLA staff will be able to shift their focus onto forward-thinking tasks that will go to better serve CLA members and the library community at large. Additionally, staff will be able to collaborate with experts in a wide array of associations that are housed within ARC's offices. With these benefits at hand, we as staff are excited to enter this new partnership.
As such, the California Library Association has a new address, telephone, and fax number:
California Library Association
950 Glenn Drive, Suite 150
Folsom, CA 95630
Phone: 916.233.3298
Fax: 916.932.2209
Along with CLA's transition within ARC, the Association has added three new staff members:
Gretel MacLeod
Membership Services Associate
gretelm@cla-net.org
Dawn Wood
Staff Accountant
dawnw@cla-net.org
Kevin Kilkenny
Legislative Analyst
kevink@cla-net.org
CLA's new staff will collaborate with newly-appointed Executive Director, Holly Macriss, as well as Meetings & Conference Director, Stephen Hamilton.
We look forward to serving you, our members, in the coming year.
