Cynthia V. Hill, SLA President

Greetings SLA Members,

I'm pleased to announce that members of the Special Libraries Association voted this morning to retain the organization's nearly 100-year-old name. The vote took place here at our 94^th annual conference in New York City during the annual business meeting. It culminates three years of research, discussions and brand name debates.

The name Special Libraries Association is a highly recognized and respected brand name in the information industry. It stands for professional excellence, ethics and best practices in the management of knowledge-based organizations.

We have a long tradition of being on the cutting edge, applying information tools and technologies to advance the missions of our organizations. Keeping our name allows us to build on our heritage over the past century, while keeping our focus on the expanding information economy of the 21^st.
