Requesting agenda items for MORE Directors Council

Any MORE-member library director may request an item be added to MORE Directors Council or advisory committee agenda. Any other committee member may request an item be added to an advisory committee agenda.

The MORE Chair shall issue a call for agenda items 10 days prior to the first Friday of each month for possible inclusion on the Executive Committee agenda, and requests must be received by the MORE chair no later than 7 days prior to the Executive Committee meeting, and 21 days prior to the Directors Council meeting. These items may be added to the Executive Committee agenda and/or referred to a MORE advisory committee in consultation with the MORE Administrator and/or IFLS Director prior to inclusion in a Directors Council agenda. The MORE Administrator will contact the requester to inform them of the status of the agenda item and the rationale behind that status.

All requests should state the requested action, a brief overview of the purpose of the request, whether the item requires a special meeting, and whether the item should be referred to an advisory committee prior to Directors Council. Submit requests here.
