It occurred to me over the last few days that the Kentucky Chapter of SLA has taken an extraordinary number of leadership positions within the national SLA organization, particularly considering our chapter has less than 70 members. I thought I would take a few minutes to write up a post recognizing our leaders and promoting our involvement to those who might not be aware.
We have one Past Chair with James Manasco in the Information Technology Division. We have two current Chairs with Valerie Perry in the Food, Agriculture and Nutrition Division and Stacey Greenwell in the newly formed Academic Division. We also have one Chair-Elect with Constance Ard in the Legal Division. Out of 26 divisions we have Chairs, Past Chairs and Chair-Elects in four of them. That's current leadership roles in just over 15% of the divisions. Not too shabby, folks.
That is all without mentioning that Stacey Greenwell has been nominated for the Division Cabinet Chair-Elect position and that Gloria Zamora, who is not geographically located in Kentucky but is still a Kentucky Chapter member, is the current President of SLA.
I'd like to congratulate all of our leaders and thank them for their willingness to step forward and do the work that keeps SLA running. Keep up the good work everybody!
I would add that James Manasco is also the Chair of the 2010 Conference Planning Committee with Stacey serving on the committee. That's leadership across all divisions!

Good point, Constance. If anybody knows of someone else I missed, let me know.
