SLA President-Elect Webinar

Join us for a Webinar on August 24

SLA President-Elect candidates will present a webinar to the Illinois, South Carolina and Iowa SLA chapters. Candidates Deb Hunt and David Cappoli will speak for 5 minutes each to present who they are and what they stand for. Then, we will open it up for questions. We would ask that chapter members read their bios and blog posts ahead of time, so we can devote our time in the meeting to answering questions after brief introductory remarks by each of the candidates. Registration information will be sent out after the first of August. This webinar is free, but there may be a long distance charge for the phone call.
