Minutes of Meeting: Continuing Professional Development and Workplace Learning Section, 20 September 2023

In order to ensure everyone got to know one another in an engaging environment, there was Zoom Speed Dating, which Helen rotated members to different breakout rooms (in pairs) and each of them shared their name, title, organization, and reasons for joining CPDWL Helen extended an invitation to all Steering Committee (SC) members to join the projects they find most interesting. To streamline the process, Helen created a Google Form where SC members can indicate their project preferences. The deadline for the submission is 12 Oct 2023. Helen also stressed the importance of being an active member in the vibrant CPDWL section. In line with this, Helen reminded SC members the inactive members rules in IFLA. According to the results of the Sep 7 Doodle Poll set up by Helen, the 90-minute Post-Congress Business Meeting has been scheduled for Oct 6 October, 21:00-22:30 (HKT). In the forthcoming days, Helen will disseminate the agenda and Zoom link for the upcoming meeting. The Sept 20 social gathering can be viewed as a precursor to the coming business meeting, serving particularly as a preparatory session, especially for the newly-elected SC members
