Good morning, Looking forward to seeing many of you this Tuesday for our member meeting and the 2016 Literacy Leadership Awards Event. A reminder to register for both — this will help ensure we order the right amount of food for everyone and don’t go over capacity for the event Tuesday night. Fall Member Meeting: https://nclmeeting-fall2016.eventbrite.com <https://nclmeeting-fall2016.eventbrite.com/> Literacy Leadership Awards: https://literacyleadership2016.eventbrite.com <https://literacyleadership2016.eventbrite.com/> For those who can’t make it to our meeting, we’ll do our best to provide access by teleconfierence using our usual number: 605-477-2100 Pin: 240804#. We are not quite at the point where we can live stream the awards event, but we are planning to video-record the proceedings and share with you all afterwards. Finally, you’ll note on the agenda below that there are a couple of spots for “mini” presentations. These are opportunites for members to do 10-15 minute brief presentations on a project or topic of their choice. Something a bit more formal than an update but shorter than a typical presentation and Q&A. I have one member planning to do this in the early afternoon, and held time for 1-2 more in the morning if people want to do that. Let me know if you are interested in doing one. Sorry for the late request. Apologies also for the last minute-ness of the agenda. It’s always a bit of a scramble to confirm everything until we get close to the date. The good news is that I think we’ve got a really good lineup of speakers and rich discussion topics.
