Welcome to ACRL/NEC !
As your newly-seated president (no pun intended), I invite your participation in our regional professional development organization. The New England region stretches from Maine to the western reaches of Massachusetts and Connecticut and this year our efforts will be concentrated on outreach to members old and new. The Board wants to hear from you – your ideas, concerns, challenges, and suggestions. Please take a look at our calendar which lists Chapter-supported and related events in the region. We invite you to attend Board meetings as well, where you will have the opportunity to meet Board members and committee and Special Interest Group (SIG) Chairs. There are many opportunities to be involved, from serving on a committee to assisting with the Annual Conference. Many SIG meetings are free and offer the opportunity to meet members with mutual interests. Discover our scholarships and awards, and check out our presentation clearinghouse where you’ll find archived videos, podcasts and PowerPoints from regional events. Our Newsletter contains articles, essays and news from around the region and we welcome your input. If you’re a member of ACRL National, then you’re automatically a member of the Chapter; but if you’re not, consider joining the Chapter for the $15 annual fee. I promise you’ll get your money’s worth.
Best wishes to all and please don’t hesitate to contact me!
