On Thursday, April 27th, the CRL community will come together in the annual convening of the Council of Voting Members. The Council of Voting Members meeting plays a critical role in the CRL governance structure. During this annual convening, colleagues from across the CRL community will assess the state of the cooperative and shape its future directions. While there is no limit on attendance at the Council of Voting Members meeting for affiliates of CRL member institutions, only two designated members from each institution may cast votes during the voting portions of the meeting.
