Executive Secretary's Annual Report - July 2020

Executive Secretary’s Report - July 23, 2020

How does it compare? In July 2019, we had 334 active memberships. Our membership rate is a bit lower at this time. However, these are unique times and our offerings to Nebraska school librarians have not depended upon membership for access.

The good news... Our membership is growing. We had 15 new memberships from March 2020 to July 2020.

More good news... No emails "bounced back" when members were emailed about summer PD opportunities from the contactnsla@gmail.com email address. This shows that our members are receiving important information at this time. If you switched districts or retired, please email the above address to update NSLA.

All new memberships... New memberships received from July 28 through September 30 will automatically be extended to September 30, 2021 and will not need to renew in 2020.

IMPORTANT AS WE LOOK AHEAD: In August, members will begin to receive information about the NSLA School Librarians Day in October as well as membership renewals. Current members will receive one of two emails: membership needs to be renewed or membership is active for the upcoming year. September 30 is our universal membership renewal date.

Of note in the 2019-2020 year:

In the face of COVID-19, the NSLA has been able to provide and promote many professional development opportunities through email, social media, and our listserv. None of these opportunities were limited to only NSLA members. Our goals regarding professional development, despite the cancellation of NETA 2020, have been met and exceeded.

In July 2020, the NSLA strengthened its standing committees and established new goals in its action plan. Committee chairs and their contact information can be found on our About NSLA page.
