DAM Shout Out #5
Happy July!! Hope you are looking forward to a long weekend to celebrate The USA’s Birthday! If you are one of our international members, hope your summer or winter is going great!
Speaking of celebrations ….
I’m exhausted, inspired, elated and encouraged after attending SLA’s Centennial Celebration!
Our Division put on a seriously awesome slate of sessions. Here’s a little recap:
Our little orange DAM buttons could be seen around the convention center (email me if you want me to snail mail you one!) Our tweets were seen on the big screen in the INFO/EXPO, our display in the Idea Showcase was very well received.
Our Board meeting was an excellent brainstorming session and we have lots of new ideas for the division, we will keep you posted!
Our Business meeting – sponsored by WARC – was delicious, despite the early hour! We met some great new members and encouraged a few others to jump on board the DAMwagon! Also, congrats to Jen Hahs, our Award of Merit 2009 winner!
The Roundtable – sponsored by Proquest – was once again a lively and interactive learning session. Our RT is a time honored DAM tradition. Love it!
The FAN/DAM luncheon about Food’s Future was a great success. Member Joan Leake from CMI did a fantastic presentation, her resource list was worth its weight in gold!
Onion Editor Calls For An End to Reading – HUGE success! Folks were out the door! Check out a picture of the SRO crowd on our blog http://units.sla.org/division/dam/!
Not Your Grandmother’s Census – sponsored by SimplyMap – also a great success, with some very valuable info.
I’m Not Cheap - Just Cost Conscious – sponsored by AdData - with Marcy Phelps was a terrific way to end our DAM sessions. Marcy is always an engaging speaker and her presentation was chock full of great resources, tips & ideas!
Well, that’s enough of SLA 2009 …. J
Let’s start planning for SLA 2010 in New Orleans! Let The Good Times Roll!
Hey, did someone say DAM Dance Party???
Couldn't make it to DC? Missed a session? Didn't get a handout?
Check out the posted conference presentations and handouts on the SLA website.

Hi all you DAM fine folk!
SLA 2009 is winding down, you will hear more about the experience soon, but here is a picture outside the room where Scott Dikkers from The Onion gave us a laugh a minute session! Standing room only! Our other sessions were also big hits in DC! Onward to New Orleans, Let the Good Times Roll!
Marcy Phelps posted handouts and links for her sessions in D.C. on her website.

All you #SLA DAM members, I changed my mind. When tweeting @ #sla2009, also use #sladam, more in keeping with other divisions hashtags, TX! Cya in DC!
If you are a Twitter user, when you are tweeting #sla2009, please also include #DAM2009. That way we will have some DAM specific stuff! Thanks!
