Dear Ms. Henderson: I reached out to Jerome Offord and he informed me that you are the Chair of the HBCU Library Alliance. I am a member of the TAIGA Forum steering committee<http://taiga-forum.org/about-taiga/> and we are meeting after the Digital Library Federation Forum on October 28th in Atlanta. I understand that the HBCU Library Alliance is meeting October 26-28th in Atlanta as well. On behalf of TAIGA, I would like to reach out to your group to see if members of the Alliance would be interested in attending the TAIGA Forum? This year we will be focusing on employee engagement. We will be announcing the speaker/facilitator soon; here is the link to our program: http://www.diglib.org/forums/2014forum/registration/taiga/ Would you be willing to share this message with your fellow HBCU Directors?
