00:08:34 Rachel Ash, MLA: Good morning! ☕ 00:08:58 Debbie Mikula - MLA: Good Thursday morning…welcome to the MLA Coffee Hour! 00:22:39 Amber Sheerin, MLA: Please add any questions you have for Ed about how to communicate your need, how to tailor language for success, or anything else! 00:23:33 Amber Sheerin, MLA: For anyone interested here is the Target Insyght Website: http://target-insyght.com/ 00:23:41 Chelsea McCoy: Where can we find best practices for language? Does it depend on your institution or are there standards that are reflected everywhere? 00:24:17 Tracy Logan: When we talk about why the library is needed, is it helpful to get the support of social services orgs? Health dept., shelters, etc. or does that create a negative connotation in the mind of middle-class tax payers? 00:28:05 Eric Palmer: You said libraries need to start the campaign 7-9 months out before the election does that include doing a survey of the community or should that be done before you start the campaign? 00:28:27 Chelsea McCoy: Great question Eric! 00:35:32 Chelsea McCoy: So is this survey happening verbally in person/over the phone? 00:37:48 Ellen Peters: Are staff and board members allowed to phone/survey or must it be volunteers? 00:40:45 Kate DeRosier: I believe so long as no mention is made of millage or campaign and the survey focus is on community attitudes, concerns, interests, wants I understand that board and staff may be involved in the survey. . 00:41:35 Ellen Peters: Can they phone call for the millage if they're doing it on their own time as a volunteer and not as an employee? 00:43:11 Debbie Mikula - MLA: How much would you expect to spend on passing a millage? 00:43:54 Chelsea McCoy: Ellen you just cannot ask people to vote yes on the clock. 00:44:03 Susan Bach: Could you speak on effective social media use for a millage campaign? 00:49:43 Ellen Peters: Thanks, Chelsea. 00:58:41 Lisa Hart: When is a decision expected on the elections for 2022? 00:59:28 Debbie Mikula - MLA: We are still advocating about the election cycle - the legislators have been on summer break and are just coming back so we will probably be seeing more movement in the near future 01:00:02 Debbie Mikula - MLA: Watch MLA’s primary source newsletter for more details as they become available. 01:01:13 Kate DeRosier: Thank you for today's program!
