It's now official. The PLAI-NCR Council will be extending their term until 2006. In a meeting held last Tuesday with the members of the NCR Council, NCR House of Delegate Representatives and NCR NOMELEC, the collective body reached a consensus that the elected officials maintain a status quo until 2006.
I wasn't able to attend the meeting being a member of the NCR NOMELEC due to the workload at the office, it is finals week at school, but the info was relayed to me by the NOMELEC Chairman, Elnora Conti.
For the record, neither of the two bodies, the NCR Council and NCR House of Delegates were able to deliver their goods as embodied in the PLAI Constitution. The NCR Council is mandated to provide continuing professional development activities to librarians in the National Capital Region while the NCR House of Delegates are supposed to submit measures for legislation to the PLAI House of Delegates. Thus, the status quo.
While it is welcome news for us at the NCR NOMELEC because we won't be working this year, I feel a bit disappointed about the zero output having seen the enthusiasm and having heard the promises during last year's elections. I will withhold any comments on these matters because I know all the members of both bodies and I do know, too, that these aren't the way they thought it would end up.
Take it away, Von :)
