[padg] FW: [ALCTS Planning] Fwd: Reminder: ALCTS Planning Web Site

["Pilette, Roberta" <roberta.pilette@xxxxxxxx>]

Folks, I know you have heard me go on about the ALCTS Planning Database in the past.  So, here is my reminder again!  Please do go into the database if you are planning or even thinking of planning some activity and fill out as much information as possible.  If you have entered an activity into the database in the past, please go into and make sure that the entry is up to date, this includes marking an activity as completed, once it has been done.

thanks
Bobbie Pilette

>Dear ALCTS colleagues--
>
>As you and your sections, committees, IGs, and TFs prepare for 
>Annual Conference and beyond, the members of the ALCTS Planning 
>Committee urge you to use the ALCTS Strategic Planning Web Site to 
>share your group's plans with others in the division.
>
>
>This web site, also know as the ALCTS Planning Database, enables 
>ALCTS leaders at all levels of the association to track what 
>different groups have accomplished, in order to meet our strategic 
>objectives.
>
>But this web site isn't just about the past, and what we've already 
>done.  It is intended to be forward-looking too.  For example, we 
>can use the web site to identify other groups with similar plans and 
>join forces, or to spot gaps in meeting strategic goals that we can 
>help fill through new activities.  The planning database records our 
>activities as they develop, from the idea stage all the way to 
>completion (or abandonment: sometimes things just don't work out, at 
>least for the moment).
>
>
>When members of the Planning Committee contacted constituent groups 
>prior to Midwinter Meeting, they found that use of the Strategic 
>Planning Web Site was still pretty spotty.  That wasn't not 
>surprising, since the database was new.  Also, we had have a few 
>unexpected adventures with it that may have discouraged some of 
>you.  (Thank you to ALCTS members who let us know when the database 
>went missing!)  The web site is now established and working, so 
>please give it a try.
>
>
>The Strategic Planning Web Site and instructions for using it can be 
>found here:

http://www.ala.org/cfapps/alcts/planning/plan_home.cfm

>
>Thank you for participating in our association's strategic planning, 
>and please pardon any duplication.

>Warm regards,
>Carolynne
>for the ALCTS Planning Committee
