    Hello GRC Committee:

     

    We are not planning to have a meeting during ALA. 

     

    I will work with incoming chair Kevin Walker to ensure a good handoff of materials (though as a returning chair, Kevin knows the ropes really well).  He and I will complete an updated Report and Workplan to close out the work our of our 2021-22 committee, and kick-off the work of the 2022-23 committee.

     

    According to the ACRL Directory of Leadership, the 2022-23 committee will include several continuing members:

    • Kevin Walker, chair
    • Hallie Pritchett, vice chair
    • Dan DeSanto (who was extended through 2024)
    • H. Pedelty
    • Ray Pun
    • Kaitlyn Tanis

    And three new participants:

    • Natalie Marquez
    • Vivienne McClendon
    • Maribel Pagan

    All the best as you navigate the new legislative season and any changes wrought by the midterm elections!

     

    Leaving the committee at the end of June are:

    • Mark Offermatt
    • Daniel Cardwell
    • Angela Hackstadt

    I want to thank you all for your service. 

     

    I, too, will be leaving the committee, but will think of you whenever I see a news item concerning some legislative issue in Washington ��

     

    Best,

    Erik Nordberg

    Thank You Erik, and thanks to the entire GRC for the work you have done this past year.
    I will be cycling off the ACRL BOD on June 30th.
    You will have a new Board Liaison come July 1st.
    Going forward, I wish you all well.
