Membership Model – DRAFT open for comment

Board:

Pre-Defined positions:

  • Chair (responsible for finances)
  • Past Chair (plans IL Summit)
  • Technology/Communications
  • K-12 Representative (optional)
  • Community College Rep
  • University Rep

Functions:

  • Facilitate Fall meeting & IL Summit Planning;
  • Act on IL related issues between meetings (i.e. letters, advocacy, etc.)

 

Members:

  • Open- membership defined by subscription to the ILAGO listserv
  • Join ILAGO listserv, participate in IL discussions
  • Vote in board elections – ballot distributed via listserv
  • Invited to Fall meeting
    • Report – what’s going on at your institution?
    • Bring materials to share/maybe post on ILAGO website
    • Discuss & set agenda for the year
  • Take information from ILAGO meetings back to home institution
  • Volunteer for ILAGO projects as needed and desired (including Summit planning)
  • Attend IL Summit, volunteer at IL Summit
  • Lead and/or facilitate discussions/work groups/presentations at spring Summit based on year’s agenda.

The Fall meeting could be centered around administration (open discussion of the state of IL in Oregon; budget report, if needed;  other items that people submit ahead of time to add to the agenda, etc.) and kick-off for planning the next IL Summit, where non-board folks have the opportunity to volunteer to help and/or host the summit.

  1. So anyone who is on the ILAGO listserv can vote? Will there be a way to ensure folks don’t vote more than once? I support distributing the ballot via the listserv and I’m all for keeping things informal, I just wonder if voting should be limited to something more substantial than simply anyone signed up for the listserv.

  2. I would strongly advocate for not making K-12 representative optional because this is where the critical work on information literacy is occurring and they would have the most input as to how ILAGO efforts might impact their day-to-day work. I would work to align ILAGO activities toward a schedule and membership more conducive and inclusive of school library librarians/staff and K-12 teachers if possible especially if “Promote information literacy integration into the K-20 curriculum in Oregon” is part of the overall mission statement.

  3. Completely agree with Rick about including K-12.
    also wonder about inclusion of private/small colleges in addition to universities? Or perhaps rewording that category if it is meant to be that inclusive? I know it can be difficult to get folks from small schools involved in something like this, but they also deal with IL issues, and while there is much in common, some of their issues are unique to their small size. It would be good to have those issues represented in ILAGO.
