21. 2014-2015 MCMLA Priorities

35. Motion 1 and 2 There has been discussion regarding the motions that was held in conjunction with the formation of the Advocacy Committee

36. Motion 1 As a chapter we do not have a voice with accrediting bodies MLA has had representation on national accrediting bodies It is not guaranteed Frustrating experience

37. Motion 2 MCMLA is supporting the RML research The Kansas City librarians have presented a project regarding how doctors are obtaining research when their hospital library closes

38. Motion 1 and 2 Hospital librarians need to make themselves known in their hospitals indispensable in their hospitals

39. Motion 1 and 2 Reality Check: Many hospital librarians did everything right and they still lost their jobs or the library closed when they retired. Many times these decisions are not made at a local level.

48. Proposed Bylaws Change Earlier this year, the Executive Committee approved a change to combine the Government Relations and the Library Advocacy Standing Committees in to one committee called Advocacy. Per MCMLA Bylaws, the Membership was notified 30 days ago of the following proposed change to the MCMLA Bylaws: Amend Article IX. Section 3. as follows: The standing committees are Advocacy, Bylaws, Education, Government Relations, Honors and Awards, Library Advocacy, Membership, Nominating, Publications, and Research.

49. Proposed MCMLA Endowment Fund: What, Why, How Ad Hoc Endowment Task Force

50. WHAT MCMLA Officers and the Ad Hoc Task Force RECOMMEND Creation of an MCMLA Endowment Fund

51. WHY To supplement revenue from dues & annual meetings To provide a cushion against financial hardship To make our money work harder To fund the MCMLA wish list – innovative programs, advocacy, research, unrealized needs

52. HOW Use $10,000 from our current treasury Enter an agreement with Lodestar Financial Counsel LLC Lodestar to invest the principal in an indexed/balanced fund No Lodestar fee Very low fund operator fee

53. HOW $10,000 capital investment is preserved; only the interest is spent and/or reinvested Well managed funds can return 7-10% in annual interest Voluntary contributions can help grow investment principal Remember endowment funds are a long-haul strategy – they start slow but build momentum

54. RISKS Q: Is the rate of return guaranteed? A: NO but it’s much better than CDs or checking account interest Q: Can we lose all our money? A: The principal can be returned to MCMLA in event of hardship Q: Is it riskier than my personal investments? A: It may be safer and with professional management, officers & members will be protected from conflicts about fund decisions A: Our parent organization MLA sees endowment funds as an acceptable risk because it has one

55. MOTION The Ad Hoc Endowment Task Force moves that MCMLA create a professionally managed endowment fund
