The executive board feels he is extremely well qualified to lead the association into the next century. We look forward to working with him. Kan. Gordon will attend ALA's 1998 Midwinter Meeting in New Orleans in January as ALA executive director-designate. She replaces Celia Wagner, who has withdrawn her name. The other candidate is Linda Albvright, Winthrop University.
All meetings are open.
Until about a week before the Midwinter Meeting in New Orleans, AN2 will publish summaries of your discussion group topics and presenters. We will edit for length and consistency if necessary. As always, check location of the discussion group meeting in your program book and Cognotes. Participants will explore and discuss successful and unsuccessful ways in which new preservation programs can be established or existing ones expanded. Please come prepared to discuss how you personally have witnessed preservation grow in your previous and current home institutions.
