13. SWOT NCCCLA CJCLS SWOT Analysis of the Current Situation

14. Both organizations: Captures more numbers as two organizations The people Have representation at NCLA but also independence with NCCCLA NCCCLA: Specific to community colleges and their concerns Like having a separate organization More open to various types of staff/employees NCLA / CJCLS: Have a voice in a larger organization Recognized in all types of libraries CJCLS as “pedigree” of NCLA

15. Hard to keep current with two organizations Energy is split; one main organization is needed Stretched too thin Lack of money Divided focus/attention Higher cost to individuals who join both!! Confusion with CJCLS for new people Lack of membership in each organization NCCCLA lacks strategic vision, business plan, and marketing strategy

16. Create stronger professional development opportunities by collaborating Bigger voice if we leverage a partnership Leadership opportunities Collaboration possibilities Complement instead of duplicating efforts Merge! More strength could be found as one organization. Specialized professional development (during off-conference years and at NCLA)

17. Confusion with acronyms and understanding goals of each organization Getting enough officers to serve on committees for two organizations Inactivity Apathy No travel funds Burnout
