We need your help on November 16th! NMRLS' Strategic Plan sets out nine goals. Action is needed to complete specific objectives to attain these goals.

Our thought-provoking facilitator, Alan Brickman, will lead attendees through an important exercise to bring clear direction in meeting NMRLS' objectives. These objectives are critical in allowing NMRLS to provide the services you need to serve your patrons.

At the annual meeting, you'll have an opportunity to network with colleagues over lunch before the planning exercise. Members will then work together in smaller groups in their areas of interest.

Please take a look at the new Strategic Plan www.nmrls.org/strategicplan2005/ and bring your ideas and priorities! We need input from all types and sizes of libraries to attain our vision in the areas listed below:

• Reference Services
• Continuing Education
• Inter-library Collaboration
• Marketing and Public Awareness
• Delivery Services
• Infrastructure
• Partnerships
• Advocacy
• Funding

We invite all members to attend this important meeting. Registration materials will be sent in October. Please mark your calendars for November 16th.
