Chair's Message

by Sara Galligan, 2005-2006 LISP Chair

Welcome  to LISP's newsletter! This message summarizes
the past year's activities and also highlights some upcoming
activities in St. Louis. Since last July's business meeting,
we've been more about business than pleasure. With the
help of key LISP members, I greatly appreciate the progress
we've made, which has resulted in a gratifying experience
for me. It was an important year for LISP, and I believe we
are poised for more meaningful ventures (as well as sharing
some highlights in St. Louis.)

Thanks go to many. I appreciate Amy Hale-Janeke's
willingness to attend the Education Summit last September
despite hurricane interference with her departure city(ies)
and life in general. Thanks also go to Judy Flader (incoming
LISP Chair) for putting together a phenomenal Nominations
Committee consisting of: Paul Healy (Chair), Carol
Billings, Amy Hale-Janeke, David McFadden, and Elizabeth
Schneider. Judy also reviewed the bylaws and drafted some
possible changes for future discussion. We launched our
first online election thanks to Catherine Hendrickson (LISP
Secretary/Treasurer). Following a decision last year to offer
our first travel grant (in memory of former LISP Chair
Kathy Garner), David McFadden agreed to chair a Grants
Committee that not only found two excellent recipients
(Betty Agin, Middlesex County Law Library, New
Brunswick, NJ; and Brian Haley, New Hampshire Law
Library), but the committee (including Sharon Blackburn,
Joel Fishman, and Lee Warthen) also created a template for
future reference (and future grant awards). This year's
grant covered AALL registration costs for our two
recipients.

We  also selected our first VIP to the St. Louis meeting.
LISP will sponsor Ayn Crawley, Director of the Legal
Assistance Network for Maryland, who is also a panel
speaker Sunday morning for Pioneers in Self-help: A 21st
Century Vision for Libraries, Self-help Centers, Legal Aid
Web  Sites and Pro Bono Partners. LISP is co-sponsoring
this program with SCCLL. Ayn also plans to participate in
the Joint LISP/RIPS/SR Roundtable entitled Services to
Pro Se Patrons and Prisoners. This event willbe
moderated by Amy  Hale-Janeke on Monday (July 10) at
10:15AM-  11:30AM.  Thanks also go to Amy for creating
and organizing the LISP newsletter this year.

Finally, my thanks go to Pam Tull who served as our
excellent and very prompt webmaster this year.

In one short year, so much has changed. Hurricane Katrina
impacted all of us in one way or another. Later in this
