The CALL Nominations and Elections Committee had a very successful year. We were able to find nominees for all of the open positions: Vice President/President-elect, Treasurer, and Director. We were probably a month behind last year’s schedule with our call for nominees, but this did not seem to affect the nomination process. Despite our good luck with a late call for nominations, I think future Nominations and Elections Committee chairs should let the call for nominations start early and go long.

When the rise of the coronavirus sent us home, the CALL Meetings Committee decided to host online happy hours. It has become a great way to raise a glass to discuss with working from home, fears and concerns about Covid, and chat about our favorite movie soundtrack.
As librarians, we are skilled in learning new technologies so everyone has caught onto Zoom quickly. It has also been great to include CALL members who are living out of state (California, Indiana, Wisconsin).
After the success of the first online happy hour, we have been holding them every three weeks on Zoom. We will be having our final summer happy hours on July 29 at 5:30 and August 20 at 12:30pm.
If you have suggestions for the fall please reach out to Eugene Guidice, Mike McMillan or Carrie Port, and stay tuned for the new schedule.
