Goals

In December 2006, the incoming and outgoing officers and committee chairs met to set priorities for the 2007 year. Rich discussions led to many ideas and the NHLA Board chose to focus on six specific goals:

  1. Revitalize the advocacy committee
  2. Plan for the 2008 annual conference
  3. Create a treasurers’ council made up of the treasurers from the sections and the NHLA treasurer
  4. Improve communications with the membership
  5. Focus on scholarship and continuing education opportunities
  6. Visit each NH Public Library Cooperative to showcase the benefits of membership in NHLA.

Although each of these goals is independent of the others, there is a clear connection between the goals with each informing some element of another. These goals align with the mission of our organization which is to advance the interests of its members through advocacy on library issues and increasing public awareness of library service; to support the professional development of its members; to foster communication and encourage the exchange of ideas among its members; and to promote participation in the association and its sections.
