Dear NLA Membership/Colleagues,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to start by sincerely apologizing for the lack of updates from NLA and any confusion this may have caused. We recognize the importance of clear and timely communication, and I deeply regret any concern that has arisen as a result.
Due to a variety of outlying factors, leadership faced challenges and uncertainty over the past year. I acknowledge that this contributed to gaps in communication and decision-making, and I want to assure you that we are taking active steps to address these issues.
While we were unable to host a conference this past year, we have not been idle. Behind the scenes, we have been working diligently on an organizational assessment aimed at strengthening NLA and ensuring it can serve our community more effectively in the future. This assessment is a critical step toward addressing longstanding challenges and positioning NLA for success in the years ahead.
In the coming months, we will share more details about the assessment and the proposed organizational changes it will guide. Once the assessment is complete, we will reach out to you—our valued members—for your input on the next steps.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape NLA’s future, and we are calling on anyone interested in being part of this transformation. If you are willing to help enact these changes or are interested in serving in a board or committee position in the future (whether as a temporary interim position or a fully elected seat), we encourage you to reach out now. Your involvement will help prepare us for a strong and collaborative year ahead.
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support of NLA. Together, we can ensure our organization remains a vital and vibrant resource for Nevada’s libraries.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions, concerns, or to express your interest in contributing. We look forward to working alongside you to build a stronger NLA.
Warm regards,
Kassie Antonucci
NLA President
Nevada Library Association
