**Northern Alberta Health Libraries Association**
**(NAHLA)**

The Northern Alberta Health Libraries Association (NAHLA) had an active year with three Leading Edge sessions, two social events, and its annual NAHLA Trends Mini-Conference. A highlight of the conference was presenter Dr. Steven Aung, a pioneer in the integration of western, traditional Chinese, and complementary medicine, who spoke on "Integrated Compassionate Medicine for the 21st Century and Beyond". This winter, we will be offering a workshop on systematic review searching to build capacity among our members. Our membership remains very healthy, and we have had strong student representation as a result of our presentation to School of

Library and Information Studies (SLIS) students at the University of Alberta. At NAHLA's Annual General Meeting in September, we elected a new Vice President, Maria Tan, and Secretary, Erica Lenton.
