ALA Councilor Announced

9/10/15: The Executive Committee received an outstanding number of applications for the position of VLA Chapter Councilor for 2016, and I’m pleased to announce that Samantha Thomason has been selected. (This appointment lasts for one year; VLA will elect a Councilor for a new 3-year term during our 2016 election process next summer.)
Samantha has been with the Central Rappahannock Regional Library for over sixteen years, first as a Web Developer and now as Media Strategies Librarian. She was the VLA Local History, Genealogy, and Oral History Forum Chair (2013-2014) and is currently co-chair for the 2015 Annual Conference. She has also participated in ALA’s National Legislative Day. As she noted in her candidate statement, Samantha has “a desire to become more engaged with big picture issues affecting our profession nationally.” I know from working with Sam on the conference committee that VLA will be well represented at ALA Council meetings.
Please join me in congratulating Samantha on her appointment!

-Suzy Szasz Palmer, VLA President
