**Goals,
Objectives, Projects completed (including, but not limited to, any procedures,
tip sheets, checklists, etc. created during the reporting year):
Hosted the 2004 Student Reception at ALA Annual in Orlando. 24 students attended this year. The low turnout was due in part to the location (an out-of-the-way hotel that was difficult to get to) and the time conflict with the 3M/NMRT Social.
Representatives from ten ALA divisions and roundtables spoke at the reception; two groups that could not send representatives left literature. Gerald Hodges from the ALA office also attended. The Student Chapter of the Year award was given at the reception.
**Action
Items/Issues To Be Resolved – What plans/projects remain which will be carried
over or postponed until next year? Have there been any substantial changes in
plans requiring a reconsideration or cancellation of projects? Information
regarding such will be helpful for future chairs and planners.
There will be a change in funding for next year's reception, since the current sponsors have decided to help with something else.
A time change has been proposed for the Student Reception so it will not conflict with the 3M/NMRT Social. The proposal to reschedule the Student Reception to 6-8 PM on Sunday evening would likely increase attendance. I recommend that next year's chair follow up with this proposal.
Publicity from the reception should also be increased. I recommend that next year's chair work closely with the Publicity and Student and Student Chapter Outreach committees to ensure that students are aware of the reception.
