2024-02-26 Tri- Council Chairs Meeting notes

Planning for the Tricouncil meeting/Communications Update

• Proposal to hold meeting on March 7, during the PC time slot

• Topics: Treasurer stepping down, need to increase participation in the councils

• Are we planning to engage with members not that engaged or those more deeply engaged?

• The last one we held appears to have been in 2022

• Suggested candence: 2X per year, Spring/Fall?

• Next Communications Update: Monday, April 22, during CC Slot

• Why do we have these meetings?

  • To inform and get more people involved in FOLIO

  • We need to use email to reach out to people not engaged in Slack

• Topic for TriCouncil meeting: How do we make the FOLIO project attractive to new member organizations and how do we get people involved at a deeper level?

  • Some ideas: using email to reach out to individuals not active in Slack

  • Working with colleagues for succession planning

  • mentoring new libraries.

• Set up for the meeting:

  • Ask members to think about barriers to participation and a way to increase participation

  • People can their topics to a spreadsheet in advance of the meeting

Frequency of Tricouncil vs. individual council meetings

• Some desire to have more cross-council meetings, but also concern about how large the councils are, and they would not be able to solve problems
