Loriene Roy Elected! Yes!

University of Texas at Austin LIS Professor Loriene Roy was just elected as ALA President. According to the ALA Press release, "Roy was elected with 8,898 votes. Crowe received 4,702 votes." Yahoo! That same release, I should add, mentions ALA has over 66,000 members. To me, that shows the importance of each vote. I am grateful to Hawai'i friends who supported her election.

As you might recall, Dr. Roy kicked off her campaign in Hawai'i. I hope we can have her as a guest speaker at HLA or in the LIS Program. Check out comments from her last HLA talk.
