2021-2022 Strategic Planning

From December 2021 to February 2022 BC ELN held a series of four meetings bringing stakeholders together to discuss strategic plans for the consortium.

Stephanie Ahles and Jamie Eustace from HueLife provided a structured, participatory process for BC ELN participants - which included partner library directors and staff, steering committee members, and BC ELN staff.

Documented outcomes of each day are available below:

From here, BC ELN will continue to build on the strategic directions that emerged from the final session. The Steering Committee, with support from the BC ELN Office team, will expand on the important work completed at these meetings by refining the directions and identifying actions. Updates will be shared broadly in the coming months. (Updated: Feb 28, 2022)
