The leadership needs of our community-based, community-driven organization are ongoing, and so the contributions of all members, including those of you who voted as voting representatives for your member institutions, continue to be greatly valued.
The board has also recently approved the appointments of six new members to the Technical Services Advisory Council: Bobbi Fox (Harvard University), Trevor Thornton (North Carolina State University), Maggie Hughes (UCLA), Dallas Pillen (University of Michigan), Julia McGinnis (California University of Pennsylvania), Megan Blair (St. Edward's University), as well as four new members of the User Services Advisory Council: Brittany Newberry (Atlanta University Center); Alston Cobourn (Texas A&M - Corpus Christi); Scott Ziegler (American Philosophical Society); Ann Merryman (University of South Carolina Upstate).
Best wishes to all as we welcome our representatives to their new roles and look ahead to coming year.
Respectfully submitted,
Jay
