Abstract

Perhaps the most significant event this year was the retirement of Charles Wilt, our beloved executive director, after a seventeen-year career at ALA. It was a bittersweet moment for ALCTS. However, we were very fortunate to hire Keri Cascio as our new executive director. Keri brings a wealth of experience in many different library settings—research, public, consortial—and she has long been active in the association. In fact, she was ALCTS’ first Emerging Leader back in 2007, which gives her career thus far a lovely symmetry.
