Comments Off on LLOPS Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Survey Greeting LLOPSters,
As a follow-up to Mark’s email below, I am sending one more message off listserv to ensure it reaches all members. We hope that you received listserv communications from Program Committee Co-Chairs Crystal Alberthal and Maya Swanes last week about our next virtual meeting (more details about that below). If you did not receive their email or if you have experienced delivery issues in the past, the Gaggle Mail Knowledgebase suggests following the instructions outlined in their Delivery Kit to add the LLOPS listserv email (llops@gaggle.email) to your pre-approved contact list. The Delivery Kit contains instructions on how to do this in various email platforms (Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, Android Mail, etc.). Taking this step should ensure successful delivery in the future, but if you continue experiencing problems, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mark Desierto, Kristin Kimura, and me (cc’d on this email), and we will help troubleshoot the issue.
I also wanted to thank everyone who has completed the LLOPS Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Survey. The Board and I appreciate you taking the time to share your input and feedback with us. The survey will close tomorrow, February 9th at 5pm PST. If you have not had a chance to take the survey yet, please consider doing so before it closes.
Lastly, if you did not receive Crystal and Maya’s email last week, details about the upcoming virtual meeting are below.
Please save the date for the February LLOPS meeting on Wednesday, February 24 at 12 noon. The program committee is excited to announce that Sarah Larsen, Outreach Librarian at Minnesota State Law Library will be coming to speak with us about her outreach and access to justice efforts during a pandemic. You can read a bit about her efforts from her recent blog shared via the KnowItAALL.

Comments Off on LLOPS October Meeting Hello LLOPSters:
We hope you will join us this Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 12 noon for the October LLOPS meeting. We will feature Allison Feher, who is the Administrative Manager for the Seattle chapter of the League of Women Voters! Since it is election season, we thought it would be great to hear from someone involved with an organization focused on increasing civic engagement. In order to tailor her presentation to our interests, Allison would like to know what topics we want her to cover. To that end, please take a second to complete this (one question) survey and let us know what you would like to know about the LWV (or elections more generally) or what questions you would like Allison to address.
Topic: Allison Feher from the Seattle chapter of the League of Women Voters
