[Baynet] "Defending Libraries in a Time of Budget Uncertainties" -- a Special Libraries Association presentation

[Cruz, Craig]

Dear BayNet members,

 

The nation's economic situation has many of us concerned that our
funding will dry up and/or decrease to a trickle. For that reason, I'm
forwarding an announcement from SLA about an evening event being held
next week. SLA's CEO will discuss lessons we can learn from recent
examples of library cuts (including the EPA libraries scandal).

 

Some of you may already be SLA members, but the event is open to
non-members, too.

 

** JOINT EVENT: SAN FRANCISCO BAY REGION & SAN ANDREAS CHAPTERS **

What:  "Defending Libraries in a Time of Budget Uncertainties" - A
Special Evening with Janice Lachance, CEO of the Special Libraries
Association

When:  Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Check-in and social hour begins at
5:45 p.m.

Where:  The Coyote Point Yacht Club, 1820 Coyote Point Drive, San Mateo

Janice will discuss her experiences and lessons learned from defending
the EPA libraries (and others) and suggest how we can apply those
lessons to our own situations and libraries. This event presents a rare
opportunity to meet and share your views with our organization's
national director.

The Honorable Janice R. Lachance became the 13th chief executive of the
Special Libraries Association in 2003.  Janice's career has included
extensive experience working for members and committees of the U.S.
Congress, where she served in various policy and management positions.
Her many years of government service culminated with a cabinet position
in the Clinton administration, where she served as Director of the U.S.
Office of Personnel Management from 1997-2001.  Janice is a graduate of
Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY, and earned her Juris Doctor
degree at Tulane University School of Law in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Please join us for an informative evening that will include networking
and a buffet dinner at the Coyote Point Yacht Club in San Mateo, a
casual setting that offers spectacular panoramic views of San Francisco
Bay.
