Dear Chicago Association of Law Libraries Members,

At the Chapter Presidents’ Training during the American Association of Law Libraries Annual Meeting and Conference in Boston this past July, our chapter stood out among chapters for our strategic plan. Not only was our plan well-thought and clearly articulated, the mere fact that we had a strategic plan was an achievement in itself. 

Special thanks to our 2020-21 Strategic Plan Committee for all of the hard work that you put into crafting our plan. It lights the way forward as we embark on the 2023-24 year, and progress toward our centennial in 2046 in order to place CALL in the best possible position, technologically and with respect to our structure.

On that note, our theme for the year, CALL 2046: Anticipating our centennial, embracing our present, aims to emphasize the value of our community, both in person and online, and to put us in even better stead to ensure the longevity of our organization. 

I look forward to our year together!

Mandy Lee
CALL President 2023-24
