ARLIS Western New York is now ARLIS/NA Upstate New York!
At the ARLIS/NA mid-year meeting on September 26, the Executive Board approved the proposal of the ARLIS/NA Western New York Chapter to change its name to ARLIS/NA Upstate New York Chapter. At the ARLIS Western New York fall business meeting
on October 3, chapter members unanimously voted to officially change the name of their chapter effective January 1, 2014.
The name ARLIS Western New York did not accurately represent the location of many of the current members of the group who are in Eastern or Central New York. ARLIS Upstate New York seemed like a more geographically inclusive and appropriate
name. By changing our name to ARLIS Upstate New York, the chapter hopes to increase its membership since it now encompasses the entire upstate region. Any art librarians north of the New York metropolitan area are welcome to join ARLIS Upstate New York.
