A Message From Roberta Stevens, ALA President-Elect

  • 1.  A Message From Roberta Stevens, ALA President-Elect

    Posted Feb 17, 2010 12:04 PM

    From Roberta Stevens:

    "2/5/10
    Dear Colleagues,
    It has been a pleasure for me to serve as your ALA President-elect. I am
    so proud of our association ... its dedicated staff and its equally
    committed and energetic members.

    At the Midwinter Meeting, my President-elect's report was distributed to
    the Executive Board and Council. I am sharing it with you and ask that
    you make it available to your units. My objective is to ensure that what
    I've worked on or will be working on is easily accessible and
    transparent.

    At the Midwinter Meeting, I also had the opportunity to talk with a
    number of groups about my 2010-2011 Presidential initiatives. I've
    attached a summary of those initiatives and, once again, ask that you
    make the information broadly available. In a few weeks, my Advisory
    Board and I will begin work in earnest to plan for their implementation.
    It will take a team for the successful acccomplishment of these projects
    to benefit all types and sizes of libraries. I hope that you will want
    to be part of that team.

    Finally, my President-elect website has been launched and is available
    at:
    http://www.robertastevens.com

    With my gratitude for your support,
    Roberta
