Calendar & Meetings
Leaders have permissions to place a meeting on the WLA Calendar of Events. If you are unsure how to proceed, contact the WLA Staff for assistance. All meetings are scheduled on this calendar. Please also check the leadership calendar periodically.
Holding meetings at WLA
To reserve a meeting room for your group at the SCLS Conference Center, contact the WLA office. There are two meeting rooms available, Badger and Chester. Each room holds groups of 10-15 comfortably. Both rooms can be turned into one so larger groups can be accommodated. Rooms are available on a first-come, first-serve basis to all association units and committees. The rooms are also available to the entire Wisconsin library community for meetings when there are no scheduling conflicts with official WLA or South Central Library System meetings.
The office and building is handicap accessible with free parking. The office is conveniently located off I-94 and Highway 151. There are many restaurants within a mile of the office, and several that deliver to the office. Directions
Overnight accommodations
If you must travel a long distance to the WLA office for association business, WLA staff will reserve lodging near the WLA office. Hotel and room charges are billed directly to the WLA office; other incidentals will be the responsibility of each individual. Contact Brigitte Rupp Vacha to make a lodging request.
Teleconferencing and GoToMeeting/GoToWebinar
WLA also encourages the use of teleconferencing using the association's GoToMeeting account for committee and board meetings. Please notify Lisa Strand or Brigitte Rupp Vacha of the date, beginning and end time of your meeting. We will reply with the phone number, URL and other information you'll need to connect via teleconference. You can also use screen sharing if you wish to conduct a webinar or need to work together on documents with your work group. Members participate by dialing from their own phone line (it is a toll call) or using VoIP.
