GO VOTE

For your favorite potential e-board member!  Here's what you need to know!

"Just a reminder that voting for the new board positions will close this Thursday, February 28, 2013 by 5 pm. If you are a member of Student ALA, login to Sakai, visit the Student ALA site and select the polling link to vote for your favorites!"  

SO, if you're a current member, go exercise your right to vote!  You have a chance to make next's year's board(VP, treasurer, and scretary) just as epic as this year's!  

On a similar note, SALA would like to give a big CONGRATULATIONS to our newest e-board member: Kirsten Anderson.  A mighty president she will make- she has some big shoes to fill come May.

If you missed the meeting where we discussed how elections should run, the ed result was that elections will be finalized(votes completed) by March 1st, this means that the next(for example) Vice President will serve their position from March 1st 2013-May 2014.  When March begins, the current Vice President will train the "Vice President-elect."  We hope that, due to how the graduate program runs for most students, this will give relief both to the current board members as well as the newly elected.  

On a final note, here is a word from our president, Stefanie Metko, from earlier today!


"Our meeting today was productive, and we were able to commit to a final program schedule for the day and to make some other key decisions regarding format of sessions. We also generated a list of logistics that need to be done prior to the conference. Please take a look at the NOTES from today to see a full recap of what was discussed, and if you can think of anything we haven't thought of, please add it to the list.



I will be sending out individual emails to each of you shortly, recapping specific roles for the conference as we discussed today. For those who were not there, please continue with what you have been doing and keep up the GOOD WORK!!



Thanks again,



Stefanie Metko

President, Student ALA"
