Colleagues,
A substantial tip of the hat is due the members of the Arizona Chapter of
ARLIS/NA for organizing the the recent Mountain States conference held at
the Museum of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff, Oct. 10-13. By my count, there
were thirteen speakers or presenters, which included the artists Carm
Little Turtle, Ed Singer, Rebecca Asay, and Roger Davis, a behind the
scenes tour of the MNA holdings (great collections, exhibitions, etc.), and
there were even brief presentations after the excellent lunches (one on two
regional special libraries, always useful, and one on four members'
specific experiences as editor/author, equally informative). As always,
the comraderie level was extremely high, the fellowship ratings off the
scale, and I must confess, speaking as a Californian, the Arizona wines
quite tasty.
As busy as we all are, and as difficult as it is for some to partake of the
annual national conference, the Arizona folks deserve special kudos for
going out on a limb and planning a mid-year, multi-chapter event. I would
encourage all the chapters of ARLIS/NA to consider engaging their
neighboring chapters in considering annual or biennial events of this
nature.
For those who have not seen it, the URL for the conference page follows:

Special thanks to the officers of the AZ chapter:
Mary Graham, Chair
Brooks Jeffrey, Vice Chair
Genni Houlihan, Secretary/Treasurer
Regards,
Peter Blank
