2013-2014 Election Results!

It is my pleasure to announce that our ARLIS/NA-NC 2013-2014 election results are in! Carrie McDade, currently Instruction & Outreach Librarian at Sonoma State University, was elected as Vice Chair/Chair-Elect, and Lauren MacDonald, Instruction Librarian and Art History & Art Appreciation Instructor at Reedley College, was elected as Secretary/Treasurer. Both Carrie and Lauren bring valuable art and library instruction and outreach experience as well as a passion for the fine arts, which will surely prove to be valuable assets for our chapter. Please join me in welcoming Carrie and Lauren to their new officer positions. Congratulations to you both!
