LISTSERV 16.5 - TLA-L Archives

Annelle -

Well done, thou good and faithful servant goes the Biblical commendation.

Likewise to you for all your good work shepherding TLA’s activities and development these past many years.

Your steady hand and attention to all those niggling details have served TLA well, keeping it on course to serve its members and achieve its mission. Cathy has your good models to emulate.

Now, stay kind in spirit, and don’t act your age in retirement: act like the inner young person you have always been.

And welcome to our ole POOPS club [People Of Outstanding Previous Service].

Cheers - Don

Dear Members,
It is my pleasure and honor to announce that the TLA Executive Board has selected our new Executive Director as Cathy Farley of White County Public Library!

Many of you will know Cathy as our Conference Coordinator, a position she will retain as we move forward with our plans. Cathy has been an active and engaged TLA member since 1997, and has held a wide variety of positions, including President, over her time with us. Please join me in welcoming Cathy to this new role!

Between October 1 and December 1, Cathy will be working with Annelle to move equipment and files and learn as much as possible. As of December, Annelle officially retires and Cathy takes over the position in a solo capacity. The Executive Board and I ask for your patience as we make this transition.

Thank you, Cathy, for your many years of service and desire to take on this role.

Jill Rael
TLA President
2019-2020
