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.

CALL Nominations and Elections Committee 2019-2020 Annual Report
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.

Keith Ann Stiverson Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
The Chicago Association of Law Libraries honors Keith Ann Stiversion with the 2019 Outstanding Lifetime Achievement in Law Librarianship Award.
When Keith Ann retired in 2018, it marked the end of a decades-long career that spanned roles, geography, and countless revolutions in the way information is distributed.
Through it all, Keith has remained, as the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin once described her, in a turn of phrase that made all of us cringe, “One librarian who doesn’t keep quiet.” We are all fortunate that she didn’t keep quiet, and we should now raise our own voices to thank her for that service.

Chapman & Cutler wins In-House Publication Award
The winner of this year’s award for outstanding in-house publication is the Chapman & Cutler Research Services team.
They used a graphic of a book flipping open into a computer that was created by the firm’s marketing department and adapted it to make promotional logos for their events and newsletters. They made attractive, professional-looking signs.
The Grants and Awards committee was especially impressed with their big Bingo card. Attorneys could complete some of the basic research and library tasks on the card to try to earn Bingo. Continue reading Chapman & Cutler wins In-House Publication Award

CALL Grants and Awards Committee 2018-2019 Annual Report
Committee members: Clare Willis (chair), Sarah Andeen, Shari Duff, Debbie Ginsberg, Philip Johnson, Lyonette Louis-Jacques, Patricia Scott, and Beth Schubert.
The Committee had a very successful year. We met once in person at the beginning of the year to discuss how we would monitor opportunities for continuing education opportunities and how we would publicize them to members. This grew out of last year’s effort to let CALL members know about more continuing education opportunities beyond AALL. Continue reading CALL Grants and Awards Committee 2018-2019 Annual Report
