The ARLIS/NA Nominating Committee for 2001 would like to announce the

Nominating Committee is approved by the membership.  For each incoming 
officer, a full biographical and goals statement with photo will appear

statement for each officer:


Vice President/President Elect: Allen K. Townsend - currently Arcadia 
Director of the Library and Archives, Philadelphia Museum of Art (1995-
 ); earlier Head of Education Resource Center, Dallas Museum of Art 
(1991-2000); Circulation Manager, Hamon Arts Library, Southern 
Methodist University (1987-1991) - MLS, University of North Texas, 
1990; MM, Southern Methodist University, 1985; BM, Louisiana State 
University, 1982 - ARLIS/NA member since 1991; activities include work 
on national conferences in San Antonio (1997) and Philadelphia (1998), 
regional conference (2001), Membership Committee, Mentoring Program 
Coordinator, Travel Awards Committee, Delaware Valley Chapter, as well 
as conference presentations - other professional activities including 
Research Libraries Group, Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special 
Collections Libraries, Music Library Association

Statement of goals:  ARLIS/NA has been one of the most important 
organizations with which I have been affiliated.  Not only has it 
provided me with wonderful opportunities for growth in my profession, 
it has also been the source of many friendships and career alliances.  
I feel very strongly about helping to insure the future of ARLIS/NA by 
serving on its Board and lending my experience to the organization.  
During my term, I look forward to helping to strengthen our already-
strong connections to VRA, CAA and IFLA’s Art Section.  I also hope to 
create more professional development opportunities for those new to our 
professions by empowering and encouraging ARLIS/NA Chapters to continue 
organizing regional meetings and workshops.  I look forward to working 
with the Membership and our Headquarters Staff to achieve the 
objectives outlined in the newest version of the ARLIS/NA Strategic 
Plan.


Treasurer:  Phil Heagy - currently Director, 
Library/Archives/Bookstore, Menil Collection, Houston (1990- ); earlier 
positions at Rice University and University of Houston, etc.; MLS 
Indiana University, 1979; MA (art history), University of Pennsylvania, 
1978; BA Temple University, 1973 - ARLIS/NA member since 1976; 
activities include Standards Committee, Texas/Mexico Chapter 
exhibitions columnist - other professional activities including College 
Art Association, Midwest Art History Society, Special Libraries 
Association

Statement of goals:  From all "accounts," current Treasurer Trudy 
Jacoby has done an exemplary job maintaining the financial integrity of 
ARLIS/NA and smoothing the transition to the Ottawa headquarters.  I 
can think of no better goal than to promise the same commitment that 
has marked Trudy's tenure and those of past ARLIS/NA treasurers.


Canadian Representative:  Irene Puchalski - currently Librarian, Shore 
+ Moffat Library, Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, 
University of Toronto (2001- ) - earlier positions at Ontario College 
of Art + Design, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Concordia 
University - MA (art history) Concordia University, 1991; MLS McGill 
University, 1983; BA McGill, 1981 - ARLIS/NA member since 1983; 
activities include Membership Committee, Ontario and M/O/Q Chapter 
offices

Statement of goals:  During my career I have been a member of both 
ARLIS M/O/Q and ARLIS Ontario chapters. I firmly believe ARLIS/NA is a 
strong voice for art and architecture libraries in North America and 
that within this organization the voice of Canada is a valuable one.  
As Canadian Representative it is my goal to represent this rich diverse 
voice that is the Canadian membership, and to keep the channels of 
communication flowing between chapters and the Executive Board.  It is 
also my goal to convey to Canadian colleagues in art and architecture 
collections and visual resources centres the relevance and the rewards 
of being a part of ARLIS/NA.


West Regional Representative:  Kay Teel - currently Catalog Librarian, 
Stanford University (1998-) - earlier positions at Cleveland Museum of 
Art, New York University, Columbia University - MLS Columbia 
University, 1991; BA (history), Boston University, 1989 - ARLIS/NA 
member since 1991; activities include Cataloging Advisory Committee; 
Cataloging Section (moderator and column editor); New York Chapter 
newsletter editor; also active in North American Serials Interest Group

Statement of goals:  If elected West Regional Representative, I would 
do my very best to represent efficiently and effectively this wonderful 
and diverse region to the Executive Board.  I would work with the Board 
and the Chapters on the problem of declining memberships, and 
recruiting new members throughout the West.  It would be a privilege to 
work with the Chapters on their concerns and present these to the 
Board.  In my ten years as a member of ARLIS, I have benefitted from 
the cooperative spirit and determination of my fellow members at both 
the national and chapter levels.  It would be a pleasure to return some 
of that generosity, in any way I can, by serving as West Regional 
Representative.  ARLIS/NA is a changing and strengthening society right 
now, and this is an exciting time to be an art librarian and ARLIS 
member.
