It is with pleasure that I let you know I am renominating for the ALIA Board of Directors for a second term.

The decision to renominate has not been made lightly as the responsibility to the membership and the workload committment are both enormous. However, I have a strong belief in giving back to my association and my industry and I don't feel like all my work is done in that regard (it probably never will be).

The last two years on the Board have been rewarding, challenging, facsincating and exciting as well as a wonderful journey in self development both professional and personal. I have met a host of amazing people who just awe me in terms of their energy, passion and intellect. Roxanne, Dagmar and Gillian Hallam, the 3 immediate past presidents immediately come to mind when I make this observation.

I thank everyone for their support over the past few years, and do hope you will support me again in my bid to serve a further term on the Board and help to make our Association a major player on the political landscape.

More thoughts, observations and comments to come.
