March 24, 2023 Council Meeting @ SUNY Maritime / 1st VP Report
« on: March 21, 2023, 11:25:19 AM »
Spring Elections

Nominations are still open for 1st Vice President/President-Elect, 2nd Vice President/Conference Chair, and Treasurer.  There has been some interest from several individuals already, but that does not mean they need to run uncontested! Any member current with their dues is eligible to run for a position. This year is also a Campus Delegate election year (odd numbered years). Delegates are free to serve consecutive terms with no term limits. Please email me at saundear@morrisville.edu if you are interested in running or encourage one of your colleagues.  The election will open in late April.

The position terms are as follows:

1st Vice President/President-Elect: The 1st VP serves a 3-year term.  The first year of the term they serve as 1st VP and are responsible for coordinating delegates, chairing the Nomination Committee, and helping the President as needed.  The second year of the term they assume the position of President and see to the running of SUNYLA and serve as the liaison to the SUNY Council of Library Directors.  The final year of the term they serve as Past-President and advise the President as needed.

2nd Vice President (Conference Chair): The 2nd VP serves a 1-year term and is responsible for organizing the next SUNYLA conference (2020) including overseeing the various committees.  The 2nd VP will serve as a liaison between the conference library and SUNYLA.

Treasurer: The Treasurer serves for two years, and may be re-elected.  The Treasurer receives, records, holds, and distributes all monies of the Association in accordance with Policy on the Expenditure of Association Funds; maintains a record of paid members and forwards names of Delegates to the Membership Committee Chairperson; prepares a written annual statement of accounts for Membership; and makes recommendations to the Council for changes in procedures, spending limits, and policies.

End-of-Year Delegate Meeting

An email was sent out to all delegates announcing another SUNYLA Delegate only meeting in late April/early May as a sort of end of the academic year wrap up and discussion session. It will also be an opportunity to reveal changes made to the Delegate section of the SUNYLA webpage based on feedback from the previous Delegates meeting. Please fill out the Doodle Poll regarding your availability for either April 28th, May 5th, or May 12th. All starting at 10AM.

A short update for today.

Justin Crossfox (Buffalo State), Charles Lyons (Buffalo State), and I had a quick meeting earlier this week to discuss some preliminary planning for the SUNYLA 2024 conference tentatively being held at Buffalo State College. Justin and Charles are currently working out the logistics for hosting the conference.

Reminder that elections are in March. We are still looking for individuals interested in filling the Treasurer position. If you want to nominate yourself or someone else, or if you have questions about the positions, please contact me (saundear@morrisville.edu). https://sunyla.org/a-manual-of-duties-and-responsibilities/

Just a short update today.

Buffalo State College has informed us that it is interested in hosting the 2024 SUNYLA Conference. Plans for hosting are still tentative. Charles Lyons and Justin Crossfox are working with their campus as we speak to hopefully pull it off. More updates on this to come as well as who will be the conference planning chair and 2nd VP candidate. 

We are still looking for nominations for open Seats. 1st Vice President and Treasurer will be open in the spring. If you are interested in running or know someone who may be interested please let me know via email.

Thank you to all delegates for posting your campus updates! We love to hear all the news coming out of each campus.

Welcome to 2022-2023 SUNYLA!

First a big thanks to everyone for this opportunity to serve as your 1st Vice President.

Emails have been sent out to current campus Delegates as a welcome to the new academic year, make sure the Delegate list is up to date, and reminders of Delegate roles and tools available. I want to welcome Justin Crossfox, Lori Wienke, and Thomas Mazza as the new Delegates representing Buffalo State College, SUNY Oneonta, and Onondaga Community College!

An email was also sent out to those campuses in which no Delegate is currently listed. We have heard back from two campuses so far, please welcome Amanda Bailey from Corning Community College and Alicia Marrese from Finger Lakes Community College.

It is never to early to start thinking about Spring Elections, March will be here sooner than you think! Seats for 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, and Treasurer will be open. If you are interested in running or know someone who may be interested please let me know via email. Also, with next year being an odd year (2023) campuses should plan on holding Delegate elections. Remember Delegates can run for multiple terms with no term limits.

Respectfully,
Adam Saunders
