President's Message: Reflections on Membership

摘要

As I write my first President's Message for ITAL, I am wrapping up my year as vice president and the ALA Annual Conference is fast approaching. The past year has been a busy one—handling necessary division business, including meeting with my fellow ALA vice presidents, making committee appointments, planning an orientation for new board members, strategic planning, and attending various conferences and meetings to prepare me for my role as LITA president. I am lucky to follow such wonderful leaders as Karen Starr and Michelle Frisque, who have both helped ready me for the year ahead.
