Hello!
The Interim Board of MI-ALA has two exciting announcements.

First, we’re planning our first annual spring meeting, and we’d love to see you there. It’ll be held on Friday, June 19, from 9:30 – 4:00 at the University Center at University of Michigan – Dearborn. Cost is $15. While we’re still in the planning stages, we know that we’ll dedicate some time to presenting the progress we’ve made so far, allowing sections to meet and formulate their paths forward, and to introducing the newly elected leadership. To register for the meeting: http://www.memberleap.com/members/evr/reg_event.php?orgcode=MALA&evid=6972411

This event is open to current members and non-members alike.
