2009 brings New FLA Board Members

FLA Officers and Board Members Elected

Members of the Florida Library Association chose five persons to serve on the Executive Board. The election was held November 24 – December 15. Those elected include:

Vice President/President-Elect - John J. Callahan, Palm Beach County Library System

Secretary – Gladys Roberts, Polk County Library Cooperative

East Central Director – Cynthia Kisby, University of Central Florida

Southeast Director – Carol Russo, Broward County Libraries

West Central Director – Sarabeth Kalajian, Sarasota County Library System

The position of Vice President/President Elect is a three-year term on the board. The other four positions are two-year terms. Other positions are elected in alternate years. The newly elected will take office at the close of the 2009 annual conference in May.

The 2008 election represents the beginning of a transition from four directors to six directors from specific geographic regions of the state. Look for Northeast Florida to have its own Director beginning in 2010.
