First if all I (Anna Kroll) moved up from the position of Chair-Elect to Chair. I work at The Master's Seminary Library as both the Cataloger and the Interlibrary Loans person.

Our new Chair-Elect, who will move into the Chair position next year, is Chris Lincoln. She comes to us from the Aerospace Corp.

Alice Ho will be the new Treasurer. She works at Santiago Canyon College.

Mary LogueLogue, from Westmont, will continue as the Secretary for another year. She comes to us from Westmont.

Heather Tunender has agreed to help out with our 2010 mini-conference planning, so will be part of our Planning Committee. She works at the Paulina June and George Pollak Library at Cal State, Fullerton.

Already we are starting to make plans for our next mini-conference for sometime around February, 2010. Please feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions for topics and speakers using the discussion forum below. Our organization is what we all make of it, so your participation will be greatly appreciated.
