Thank you to those of you who attended the WSDLC Annual Meeting. We were fortunate to have an informative presentation by Lizette Serrano from Scholastic. In addition, attendees were asked to vote to approve changes to the WSDLC operational guidelines.
According to our operational guidelines, changes to the guidelines are approved at the annual membership meeting. The changes outlined below were approved yesterday at that meeting. However, because we had a small number of members represented at the meeting, we wanted to share these changes with the full membership one last time to make sure there are no objections to the approved changes. If you have any concerns about these changes, please let us know by 2/21.
The two approved changes are:
When a board seat becomes vacant in the middle of a term, a replacement can be appointed for the remainder of the term. Previously, a special election was needed to fill a vacant seat
Allow for virtual membership meetings. Previously, these were required to be in person.
The full draft operational guidelines can be reviewed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1erQfP28hoTZ_WLHsgBdMch4Zit20TUkXa_XKTR5RRS0/edit
