Update
In January 2021, the Executive Committee met to discuss moving forward with the Action Groups that we introduced at the November 2020 SLSA General Membership Meeting. As a result we have decided to move to a goal oriented action group system in place of the three categories we discussed in November. Doing so will allow for a more focused approach to accomplishing our goals.
The Executive Committee decided on the following goals, in no particular order, with a few possible action items beneath each goal:
