SLSA (School Library Systems Association) – Executive Board

SLSA is an organization comprised of all of the SLS directors across New York State. If you are an SLS director – this is your prfessional team of colleagues. You’d be crazy not to join! These are the only other people in the state (in the world really) who understand what you do! The SLSA Executive Board met on a cold January day (1/26/07) at the Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES in Syracuse. The team took a few minutes from our work to pose for this shot.

This dedicated group of hard working SLS directors from across the state was focused on this day. We had so much work to do in preparing for Lobby Day, for the Otesaga Conference, and for SLMS 2009. In addition to all those topics, we had much discussion on the process we will follow to ensure that our schools get the very best possible pricing for their online database across the state.

This year, it is my honor to be the president of this group – trying to lead the leaders, so to speak.

You’ll see here some past presidents of SLSA, Judy Dzikowski, Sue Bartle, Dee Portzer, John Monahan and Allison Wheeler are here.
In the back on the right you’ll notice our next SLSA president, Elizabeth Naylor-Gutierrez. I’m sure there are some future SLSA presidents in this photograph as well!
