OMG! I'm so excited for you, Amanda! CONGRATULATIONS! A friend I made in ALA's Policy Corps, Steven Yates, is on the ballot for ALA president, and he told me once that he can trace *all *of his active ALA involvement to when he was in ALA's Emerging Leaders Program. So, I'm really stoked we've got you up there representing TN! Congratulations, again! via Originals <https://giphy.com/originals/> on GIPHY <https://giphy.com/gifs/thisisgiphy-reaction-audience-l4HodBpDmoMA5p9bG> All my best, *Sharon Kay Edwards, MSLS* Legislative Monitor, Tennessee Library Association Policy Corps Member, American Library Association (931) 619-7863, (931) 668-7010 ext. 2113 On Tue, Dec 3, 2019 at 8:35 AM Susan L.
