The following principles guide the actions of the College Reading and Learning Association:
 

• Provide professional development opportunities;

• Support best practices;

• Promote research in the field;

• Promote a culturally responsive approach to teaching and learning;

• Cultivate a diverse and active membership;

• Promote ethically responsible professional behavior;

• Collaborate with other professional associations for mutual benefit; and

• Manage the Association efficiently and effectively. 

 _______________________________

 These principles take the place of a detailed, yearly strategic plan.  They are now the guidelines for virtually all Association decision-making, such as funding, committee action, and conference emphases.  These principles will weather unpredictable change within the Association, and modification by future Boards and memberships is not precluded.
