Hello: I am forwarding the message below on behalf of the Chair of the Task Force. Thank you, Anne Anne Chesnutt Judges' Library Nova Scotia Department of Justice 1815 Upper Water St. Halifax, NS B3J 1S7 (902)424-2078 (902)424-0646 (Fax) A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.' Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt ****************************************************************** CASLIS has recognized the need to address emerging issues and trends that affect both our division and its members. With this in mind, CASLIS created a Strategic Planning Task Force and has embarked on a strategic planning process to help guide our division over the next three to five years. An exciting opportunity to participate in this process has been offered to the entire library community as part of the ongoing CASLIS Strategic Planning Process, and I ask you to consider participating and providing your input. Through the entire strategic planning task force process CASLIS seeks to better understand its members, the issues we face and how the division can help us succeed. Your time is valuable - the time you invest in participating in the focus group session/s, will help strengthen our division, our association and our profession. Please, help build a better CASLIS. If you are interested in participating in the focus groups, please contact a local task force member who will help you get registered. A teleconference option will be made available for those individuals who are interested in participating, but the focus group physical location, date, or time is not convenient. If you are interested in participating in a teleconference, please contact Anne Chesnutt at: [log in to unmask] The local task force representatives are as follows: 1 Atlantic Canada Chapter: Anne Chesnutt, [log in to unmask] 2 Edmonton Chapter: Claudette Cloutier, [log in to unmask] 3 Calgary Chapter: Claudette Cloutier, [log in to unmask] 4 Ottawa Chapter: Mia Yen, [log in to unmask] 5 Toronto Chapter: Helen Kula, [log in to unmask] 6 Winnipeg Chapter: Stephen Porrior, [log in to unmask] We appreciate your assistance with this crucial part of the development of the new strategic plan, and look forward holding our local chapter focus group/s.
