Reports ● IRRT Budget Report (Delin) ○ Delin and Jeremiah will meet to figure out the budget and transition it to Jeremiah. ○ Money transferred into endowment. ($22,299), $18,473 left over. Comparable to the same time last year. Ala recommends at least $10,000 in account at all times. ○ Is reception too expensive?

● Report from ALA Executive Board Liaison (Loida) ○ Attendance at conference is over 21,000 - more than last year or the previous - as of Friday. ○ Security restrictions on Hillary Clinton speech (for attendance).

● Report from IRO (Michael Dowling) ○ Approx 475 international librarians at ALA. Thanks IRRT for work and support. ○ Cuba tour coming again next year - in March. ○ Agreement with China to have librarians present in China - ongoing. ○ 24 of 27 ala reps elected into IFLA committees. ○ Sharjah book fair going forward. Website will be fully bilingual.

● Report from IRRT Ad-Hoc Endowment Committee (Jeannette Pierce) ○ $34,754 already in the endowment, 22,299 will be added for a total of over $50,000. Still getting donations even post-donor drive. Donors are very international. ○ IRRT mission enhancement grants call (received in paper). Do we need to indicate the number and amount of grants? Revisions suggested. Will be discussed again at next board meeting. Hoping to give award for 2018.

● Emerging Leaders, 2016-2017 ○ Four (of five) total emerging leaders present. Sister libraries committee. What are the factors for successful and sustainable partnerships? ■ Methodology: literature review, long answer format email (a survey), qualtrics survey. ■ Formal agreement helpful for setting up partnership. Ongoing communication is very important. ■ Face to face visits can be valuable (or virtual alternatives). ○ Article in International Leads. Publishable on the irrt website?

New Business ● ALA Emerging Leaders project for 2017-2018 (Loida) ○ Focus on library services for immigrants and refugees. Talked to subcommittees about theme. Emerging leaders would follow similar theme. Deadline for proposals is Aug 25. Continue conversation at next board meeting. Plan to develop and submit in July. ○ Loida suggests changing time of executive board meeting ● Loida will work on committee list and update Adjournment: 9:58 AM
