Discussion and agenda for Winter Retreat, meeting for in January
MOU with LYRASIS is limited to one renewal and requires investigation of becoming an official LYRASIS Community-Supported Program.
Now is the right time for investigation and evaluation of options for a Fiscal Sponsor and/or Organizational home that will meet our needs for the long term. We can't continue with the MOU we have now beyond one renewal in July 2021.
This will be the primary topic at the winter retreat, and will add a third day. HGK arranging presentations with all identified and interested options.
Anything for next Partner call?
Share that as we expected to do at this time, we are beginning the process of reviewing Fiscal Sponsor and/or Organizational home options.
