Not at this time.

Not at this time.

Are there other PLA/ALA committees your group might collaborate with to benefit the work of all?
Not that we can think of.

Have there been any issues related to meeting participation/attendance for any of the group’s members?
No

Is there anything PLA could have provided during this time that would have helped your group with its work?
We worked through COVID which while a strange time, I found the group way more engaged and available. My theory is the group was looking forward to inspiration and escape provided in the proposals.
