Here are the latest membership stats for June 2024
Current members: 303
Lifetime Members: 56
Student members: 61
Delegates: 59
Membership has remained steady but low for conference time. Thanks to the delegates for helping with membership.
Leah has been having some issues with PayPal and their reporting, so there has been a lag. This, and late membership requests, have caused some problems with this year’s conference registration.
The Student Subcommittee - The 3rd Annual Future Librarians Day (FLD) was held on Friday, April 26. This year we had 86 folks register and approximately 30 registrants at each panel (I think this is our highest to date). A recording of FLD 2024 can be found on SUNYLA's Youtube channel:

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered to share their experience and expertise with our future librarians - I cannot wait for FLD 2025! Here's a quote from the feedback we received this year, "I really appreciate the librarians taking the time out to talk to us! I signed up for SUNYLA as soon as I left the meeting. Thank you from all us soon to be librarians!"
Student membership is still low – 61 – 40 from Albany; 6 from LIU; 4 from Queens; and 11 from UB. No members from Syracuse or Pratt.
Respectfully,
Carol Anne
