These monthly, informal, agenda-free meetings provide a platform for you to talk with other directors about topics on your radar and/or updates from your library. CARLI usually provides updates as well. CARLI rotates the meetings (day of the week, time of day) to accommodate busy calendars. We do our best to avoid conferences, holidays, and other conflicts. Please let me know about times/days that never work for you. If you cannot attend, you may send a representative. We look forward to seeing you all for conversation and updates!

Check your CARLI Governing Directors email for connection information.

The meetings are recorded. The recordings are posted for 30 days here: https://www.carli.illinois.edu/membership/directors#

  • Are there opportunities that you see that you can’t take advantage of that maybe CARLI could help you with or leverage for you?
  • Are there other opportunities for collaboration that CARLI should be pursuing? 
  • Are there best practices in your organization that exemplify collaboration through CARLI that we could share with the rest of the consortium?
  • Is there a program/service that you are conducting that could be leveraged at scale?

If you have any questions, please email CARLI at support@carli.illinois.edu.

Join Dr. Suzanne Morrison-Williams, EdD, MPA, BSc as she discusses:

  1. Defining succession planning and its importance in organizations;
