4 TLA LIRT Councilor s Report For Annual Conference 2016 Report from Christina Gola LIRT Councilor Annual Assembly Council Meeting July 9-10, 2015 Several Standing Rules edits were passed that were mainly housekeeping items, bringing language and process in line with practice. There were 5 resolutions passed, honoring State Representative Sylvester Turner, State Representative John Otto, US Senator John Cornyn, respectively, one resolution supporting the appointment of a professional librarian as the Librarian of Congress, and one was a memorial resolution honoring Dr. Robert Tocker. There were two resolution to promote the TLA Texas Authors and Illustrators Interest Group from an interest group to a round table and one to promote the TLA Retired Librarians (ALIVE) Interest Group from an interest group to a round table. Both passed. Annual Conference Council I April 19, 2016 The Strategic Plan was presented. Council would like the units to consider and discuss the strategic plan which will be voted on at Council II. Executive Board presented a resolution that will be voted at Council II. The resolution recommend that Executive Board prohibit open carrying of weapons at all TLA meetings in spaces contracted by TLA when in compliance with local policies. A statement would be added to the Code of Conduct. Council has asked that we give much thought and consideration to this resolution. There are some concerns that this would raise more attention than necessary for TLA. At the LIRT Business meeting the above matters were each discussed. There was an overwhelming positive response to the strategic plan. Regarding the resolution on open carrying of weapons. There were questions about whether TLA has a policy on concealed carry, and if so, how these would relate? If not, what is Executive Board s rational for including this and not concealed carry? LIRT members were not concerned about the attention it would bring to TLA, but rather serve as a protection for TLA members.
