On August 6, 1960 SLA Headquarters notified San Diego specialized librarians of authorization for a local chapter. W. Roy Holleman with Scripps Institute of Oceanography served as the chapter's first president.
This year the chapter will mark its 50th Anniversary. The 50th Anniversary Team has already formed and begun work on when and how to celebrate.
The team is lead by Bobbi Weaver of the California Western School of Law. Members include Daria DeCooman of Elsevier, Elizabeth Grossman of Qualcomm, Grace Viola of Latham & Watkins, Michelle Frost of Grant Thornton, and Martha McPhail of SDSU.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or history to share, contact the team. Stay tuned for news of anniversary plans.
