“Slack” is our newest online networking tool. In Slack, Leaguers come together in dedicated spaces called channels, which bring people and information together for any project, topic, or team. We have channels for each League, each League officer position, specific events (e.g., Community Conversations, League Day) and specific issues. Leaguers can share best practices and get answers to questions. Lorrel Plimier of the Oakland League started our channel, so your invitations may come from another Leaguer you know, or directly from Lorrel.

Bay Area League Day is planned for Saturday, February 19, with a theme of “Where Can More Housing Go?” and a committee has been formed to plan for topics and speakers. Suggestions are welcomed. We’re getting the word out regarding the date to try to avoid other League scheduling conflicts.

BAL Board meetings will continue to be held virtually, with in-person meetings scheduled periodically. Meetings are now held at 5:00 pm on the third Monday of each month, and may be “attended” via Zoom (the link for which appears on the “Agenda and Minutes” page of the BAL Website).

Upcoming Community Conversations will be offered by the Bay Area League, and a committee has been formed to develop details on topic, length, date(s) and speaker(s).
