View from the Chair
Holly Gerber, GILL Chair

As our national attention focuses on the upcoming elections, our SIS can
focus on our own upcoming election. I hope everyone reviews the candidate
bios and statements, and big thanks go to those who agreed to run for Board
Member and Vice Chair/Chair Elect. We have an excellent slate this year,
and it is very heartening to see so many members that would like to serve in
leadership positions for our SIS.
Looking beyond our upcoming elections, though July may seem far away
(especially if you live somewhere cold and not Texas where it was over 80
degrees on February 15th), the Annual Meeting is rapidly approaching. Event
planning is underway, and I hope many of you will be able to attend the
Business Meeting and Breakfast and the Reception. We so rarely get to
interact with each other face to face, so both functions will be an excellent
way to better get to know our fellow GLL members. We must not forget the
Silent Auction, which was incredibly successful last year and is an excellent
way to support members who otherwise might not be able to attend
educational events. Personally, I've only been to Baltimore once, and it was
a brief visit, so I'm looking forward to visiting the city and hopefully some
sightseeing will occur. I know we sometimes question if the costs of the
meeting and lack of relevant programming make it worth attending, but I've
found that I can glean useful information from even non-public law library
focused programs. Plus there's the above-mentioned opportunity to network
and also see what interesting freebies the exhibit hall has to offer.
Lastly, you may have noticed the AALL website looks a little different than it
did before. In addition to the new look, we have a new URL. As a heads up,
the new GLL URL is httPs://www.aallnet.orgZgI~sis/. I invite everyone to
explore both the new AALL and GLL websites to familiarize yourself with
navigating the sites and discover new content.
