STATEMENT: LITA has played an important role in my professional development. LITA members may represent different library types and communities but we are united by a common interest in technology. Today I teach library technology, information policy, intellectual freedom, and online information retrieval to the next generation of librarians. As a library educator I would bring a voice and a vision not often heard within LITA and could contribute to discussions about the skills needed for professionals in a digital world. LITA does an excellent job of creating programs and I would expand them to better mentor and train new leaders. I use emerging technologies as classroom tools to enhance learning and to help students better understand their impact on society. LITA members understand the benefits and risks of information technology. We're a value-oriented profession with a service mission and LITA can help librarians be better advocates for the public interest.

STATEMENT: As we all strive to serve our patrons better, faster, more accurately, we should take advantage of the collective knowledge available in our profession. Through LITA we share our experiences to help each other make our libraries more efficient and more valuable. I want to help make sure that LITA continues to provide the resources that technology-smart people need to stay up to the minute on developments and progress in the field of library technology. I will do that by promoting LITA programs and meetings to members and non-members, encouraging all members to participate in sharing their experiences, and encouraging new members to feel valued so that they become active in the organization.

Accomplishments: I have been a member of LITA since 1995 and have worked with and been mentored by a number of bright, encouraging people who have helped me as I served in various ways within LITA. I initiated the Distance Learning Interest Group when new technologies were being implemented into traditional distance learning initiatives. I later served for several years as the Interest Group Chair Coordinator where we first made available on the web information from the LITA manual relating to the IGs. I also served on the Regional Institutes and also served as the Chair, where in addition to providing new programming, we began examining the changing nature of delivery of educational materials to the membership. This year, I chaired a working group to investigate, in depth, the educational needs of the membership and look at ways to improve our education initiatives. Additionally, I have served on a number of other committees over the years. At this time, I look forward to serving the LITA membership on the Board of Directors.
