Task Forces

Administrative Documents Task Force (formed November 2009): Jon Haupt, Michael Rogan, co-chairs; Stephen Luttmann, Jen Riley, Liza Vick, James Zychowicz. [End Page 201]

Charge: MLA's administrative documents disseminate a large amount of information about the organization to its members and to the public. The Administrative Documents Task Force will consider the types of information published, who needs access, and where this information might be best accessed by its intended audience. The public MLA Web site and the members-only A-R Editions Web site provide two potential platforms for publication, but other options could be considered. The eventual goal is to develop an understanding of how MLA supports the work of its membership while simultaneously promoting that work to the world at large.

The group will assess the need for this information internally and externally, as well as how it should be presented to its audience. The group will propose a new approach for the location and relative accessibility of this information and future information of its type. Subject to the approval of the Board, this new approach can then be implemented by the Secretary/Treasurer, the Web Team, and/or A-R Editions as necessary.

Annual Meeting Survey Task Force (formed June 2009): Beth Christensen, chair; Veronica Alzalde, Elizabeth Edminster, Morris Levy, Tina Murdock.

The Task Force will provide a report with recommendations to the Board at the June 2010 Board meeting.
