Our Annual General Meeting cannot be held in person this year, so we are moving it online. This year we are using Zoom for the meeting. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 1 from 3:00-5:00pm.
All current NLLA members have been emailed the meeting details, but if you did not receive them and would like to join the Zoom meeting, please contact Janet Goosney jgoosney@mun.ca.
A general meeting of the NLLA membership will be held on Monday, November 7, at 1:30 pm in the Community Room of the A.C. Hunter Children’s Library, located on the first floor of the St. John’s Arts and Culture Centre (at the corner of Allandale Road and the Prince Phillip Parkway).
All current NLLA members are welcome to attend.
The meeting will be held in conjunction with the annual Library Technicians and Assistants Interest Group (LTAIG) conference.
Erin Alcock, Past President, 2013-2014 and Chair of the Nominations and Elections Committee would like to announce the successful candidates from this year’s election at the April 28 Annual General Meeting:
A big thank you to Amanda and Emily for stepping forward and taking on these important roles!
Becky Smith will be staying on as Treasurer for an additional year and Ryan Lewis will be transitioning from his position as Secretary to the Director of Recruitment and Membership. Extra thanks to them both for all of their hard work.
CBC News Reporter, Azzo Rezori will be the keynote speaker at our 2014 Annual Conference
NLLA is pleased to announce the keynote speaker for our 2014 Annual Conference: Head in the Cloud, Feet on the Ground, will be CBC News reporter Azzo Rezori.
We have some excellent presenters this year from the Newfoundland & Labrador Public Library and Memorial University Libraries who will be covering topics like children’s digital literacy, Wikipedia editing, and Linked Data. We also have an exciting “lightening round” to close the conference where 6 speakers will give exciting, face-paced, short presentations. Visit our conference page for the full programme!
The NLLA Annual General Meeting will also be held at 2:00-3:00 pm when we will be accepting nominations and voting on our new executive officers.
Today is the last day for online registration. We hope to see you on Monday!
The NLLA Nominations and Elections Committee opened nominations during the Fall 2013 general meeting. We are seeking nominations for two elected members of the executive committee. Terms take effect as of the Spring General Meeting, to be held on April 28, 2014.
If you are interested in taking advantage of a great opportunity and serving on the executive of the NLLA, please contact the Chair of the Nominations and Elections Committee, Erin Alcock.
Please consult our Constitution for more information.
This year we are piloting online elections! The intent is to allow all members to vote, not just those who attend the general meeting in person. Please stay tuned for more information and the election itself (to be held mid-April).
The NLLA nominating committee is seeking nominations for one officer of the association, the Vice President/President Elect.
If anyone is interested but would like to ask some questions please get in touch. Nominations will be heard from the floor of the annual general meeting to be held from 10:50am – 11:50 am on May 13, 2013 but will also be accepted via email to me ekalcock@mun.ca in the event that you cannot attend this meeting (please drop me a line either way, it will be useful to know that nobody is interested in doing this sooner rather than later). The election will be held at the annual general meeting, votes will be by secret ballot (special arrangements for those members unable to attend this meeting can be made. Please get in touch if you would like to take advantage of this).
We are also seeking a volunteer or possibly two to serve as coordinators of NLLA’s Canadian Library Month and Freedom to Read week activities for the upcoming year. Again, if more information required, please get in touch.
Please consider getting involved in our awesome association! These positions are open to any interested members.
Erin, President 2012-2013
