Daniel Lee Named Recipient of ProQuest Dialog Member Achievement Award
Alexandria, Virginia, 25 June 2012 – A past recipient of two SLA Presidential Citations, Daniel Lee is once again being honored for his efforts to improve the association and the information profession.
Daniel has been named the 2012 recipient of the ProQuest Dialog Member Achievement Award for his many accomplishments, most recently his role in spearheading Operation Vitality. The project is credited with bringing SLA’s 60-plus chapters, divisions, and caucuses under one online brand using the Wordpress platform.
“Daniel’s work has not only helped SLA’s chapters and divisions revitalize and enhance their Websites, but has provided a consistent image of SLA to the world,” said Tim Wahlberg, Senior Vice President of ProQuest and Dialog GM. “He has greatly strengthened SLA’s mission to help information professionals stay on the cutting edge of rapidly changing communication tools and platforms.”
“I served with Daniel on SLA’s Board of Directors, and his contributions have been phenomenal.” added SLA President Brent Mai. “The work he has done to shepherd our chapters and divisions in their Web 2.0 efforts is invaluable, and he has helped position SLA for a bright and growing future.”
About Daniel Lee
In March 2011, Daniel joined KPMG International as the knowledge manager for KPMG’s Global Healthcare practice. He came to KPMG after 9 years with Navigator Ltd., a research-based communications and strategic counsel firm in Toronto, where he served as the research librarian and later as director of knowledge services.
Prior to working for Navigator, Daniel managed Web-based content at CIPS, Canada’s leading association for information technology professionals.
