I was amazed in thereeting> Psidents I attended at how many times I could say to myself, We already do that, when programs were suggested. My focus for the Next Generation will be to begin short and long term planning to ensure the future of LLAGNY. My colleagues on the Board and I must face the problems of the present governing structure of LLAGNY. We can never meet the challenges facing law librarianship in the coming years with the labor and creativity of a handful of people. Our past structure had the Board and a few other Committee Chairs running an organization of over 900 members. The Board members served as Chairs of certain committees which meant that each year there would be a new Committee Chair as the Board changed. Often the new Committee Chairs had never even served on the committees they were supposed to lead. As the learning curve hit its peak around January or so, the Committee Chair would scramble for four or five months to accomplish major goals. In other words, each year we reinvented the wheel. This year I have appointed new Chairs separate from Board members who will serve as liaisons to the committees and will be responsible for long term planning. In addition, with the help of Jack Ellenberger of Shearman & Sterling, we will be presenting a bylaw change to the membership which will extend the terms of Board members to two years. In that way Committee Chairs may change, but the Board members will be there a little longer to provide some historic focus on what was done in the past year and why. The motivation behind all of this is to get as many of you active in the organization as possible by providing more levels of participation. I know that many of you feel that holding a leadership position in LLAGNY is just too much
