Greetings Colleagues: As you know, one of our own is running for an at-large seat on the Board of Directors of LYRASIS, namely Cynthia Henderson. This would be the time to send a quick email or make a quick phone call to one or more other directors (outside of the Alliance) that you know who are in the LYRASIS network to ask that they consider a vote for Cynthia. Rationale: She is a lone representative of medical libraries, a lone representative of HBCU libraries, seasoned and respected professional and will be quite the cheerleader for LYRASIS as noted by her stunning photo sitting atop a Howard University float, no less! Getting one of our own elected to this board is strategic, you may recall that it was the positioning of Janice Franklin (Alabama State Univ.) and myself (then at Hampton Univ.) that provided the opportunity to for us to advance the idea of forming the HBCU Library Alliance... from a dream to a reality. Yes, a seat at the table DOES make a difference. Oh, and don't forget to cast your vote as well. Thanks!
