<div>Hello Members!<br>
<br>
The Virtual Input Sessions for the Steering Committee on Organizational Effectiveness are now available on ALA Connect! The sessions present the same material, but folks ask different questions in both, so feel free to watch one or both and fast forward to
 the input part. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to let us know what you like about the Preliminary Recommendations and suggestions for improvement of the recommendations. We're gathering input for the next week or so and will spend August
 and September refining our recommendations.<br>
