Spring 2022

President’s Letter

As my term as CALL president comes to an end and I reflect on the past year I find myself wondering how it went by so quickly, but also how we were able to accomplish so much in only 12 months. I have no answer to how we can slow down time, but I do know that our accomplishments are entirely possible because of the strength of our members. I was deeply disappointed that Covid finally caught up with me and prevented me from attending the May Business Meeting. I regret not being able to personally thank the Board members, committee chairs, and committee members who made this year such a success. Continue reading President’s Letter →

Summer 2022, Membership

CALL Membership Committee 2021-2022 Annual Report

The committee put into place some procedures that should prevent us from losing members during the renewal process.  CALL now has a renewal grace period so that those who have not renewed will not be placed on inactive status.  We also have renewal reminders on a set schedule in Neon.  Need the membership due email schedule, membership overdue email schedule, and grace period memorialized in the Handbook.  The Handbook or shared Neon documentation should also remind committee members that all dates on emails need to be updated and the sender changed from the current President to the incoming President/current Vice-President.   Continue reading CALL Membership Committee 2021-2022 Annual Report →
