The 2015 annual Council of Voting Members Meeting will be held as a web event. This is the main CRL governance event, at which representatives of CRL libraries review new and ongoing CRL initiatives, elect new Board members, and vote on the annual budget for the coming fiscal year. Documentation and other background information will be provided to all registrants in advance of April 24. In addition, a series of posts appearing on CRL's blog Common Knowledge, will offer interested participants a primer on CRL and its programs.
