Section review recommendations await Governing Board (GB) approval, a refined newsletter template will give Sections common branding, and the voluntary 360° reflection toolkit, developed by IFLA HQ’s Kristine Paberza, is available on Basecamp as a way for Sections to reflect on how they work rather than as an audit. The GB will track progress on the IFLA strategy with a traffic-light system, simplify the election process and start it in November, and focus on streamlining and the 100-year anniversary.enghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Professional UnitsMinutes of MeetingInternational Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
