The current global economic crisis has affected everyone, including nonprofits like the Colorado Association of Libraries (CAL). Some people are making tough choices about association memberships and conference attendance.
Since these are the two largest sources of CAL income, the association’s finances are as strained as everyone else’s. As a result, the board is investigating options that will allow CAL to continue to serve our members and the Colorado library community. This includes issuing a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for a management company that may prove to be a less expensive alternative to our current situation. We want to stress that no decisions have been made, but as good librarians we simply want to have all the information as we plan for CAL’s next step.
What can you do to help? Renew your membership. Register for the conference. Encourage your friends and colleagues to do the same. Share your ideas with board members. Together, we’ll weather this storm and position the association for a sustainable future.
