The Saturday, November 17 WLMA Executive Board meeting took place at Curtis JHS in University Place (next to Tacoma). It was the first executive board meeting for many new officers, including myself. Although the meeting ran long, there were a lot of great discussions.
Topics discussed included: Yakima Conference evaluations, future conference sites, building the WLMA 2007-08 budget, reports from members, reorganization of public relations into advocacy, and scholarship committee requests.
Marianne conducted a focus group on the common cores for the Library Media Endorsement. Board members offered suggestions to improve the document and gave Marianne questions to take back to the state committee working on this document. Although the endorsement document will help colleges develop their programs, I think it will become a document used in hiring and evaluating teacher-librarians.
