Greetings fellow ARLIS/NA
members,
The Awards Committee of the Visual Resources Association is delighted to announce that Robb Detlefs, Gallery Systems, EmbARK Product Manager, is the 2019 recipient of
the Association’s Distinguished Service Award. He was nominated for this award by Julia Deal, Davidson College.
For more than twenty years, Robb has proven himself to be a steadfast supporter of the visual resources profession and the VRA in particular.
He has worked to support the creation of important visual resource technologies (e.g., LIDO - Lightweight Information. Describing Objects, and CDWA Lite). Through his skilled networking across organizations, institutions, and commercial partners, Robb has
been an unofficial liaison between the VRA and other professional organizations, such as the Museum Computer Network. As proof of his dedication to the VRA and its members, Robb has worked on four VRA committees, and was the Public Relations and Communications
Officer while serving on the VRA Executive Board. The VRA Core Advisory committee has long benefitted from his practical expertise. He is active in the VRA Northern California Chapter and has participated and presented at CaVraCon and numerous VRA conferences.
On a personal note, those who know him discover that although Robb may start out as a professional colleague, he will soon become a true friend.
Please join me in honoring Robb and take a moment to learn more about the 2019
Distinguished Service Award recipient by reading the 2019 VRA Conference nomination speech presented by Julia Deal and Marcia Focht (Binghamton University, SUNY) as well as
