Want to know more about them now?  Visit the candidates page  and click on the image of any candidate – you’ll see their bios.  They’ve also been answering a series of questions on the SLA Blog .

When asked about the candidate forums set for the near future, SLA Nominating Committee Chair James Manasco said, “I can’t encourage our members enough to learn as much as possible about the candidates running for the Association board.  Your Nominating Committee has worked hard to identify candidates who have much to offer the Association during these challenging times, but it is up to the members to choose those who will assume the “big chairs” and help lead the Association in the future.  Please take the time to be informed about the members who have answered the call and graciously agreed to be considered for these important positions!”
