Changes to ALIA ACT Executive

Changes to ALIA ACT executive:

A special thanks to Sherrey Quinn. While Sherrey will be continuing to work for the ACT ALIA group as a committee member and ALIA ACTive Awards Sub-Committee member, I thought it would be timely to note her outstanding and extensive service. Sherrey has been convenor of the ACT group for the past 2 years, taking up the role with gusto, following several years as secretary and treasurer. Sherrey is a quiet achiever, who has kept everything flowing in the background and, perhaps more importantly, has ensured that we have had a wide range of opportunities for ACT library staff to mingle, develop and to celebrate our achievements.Sherrey has made so many events work well for us in the ACT. She has made the annual dinner the place to be, has kept our contribution tonational ALIA planning alive through organising and contributing to NAC meetings and has passed the baton on to a younger generation (including the wonderful proactive editors). The time she has devoted to ALIA, particularly considering that she is in the private sector, istremendous.Sherrey has a wonderful range of skills which has made the ACT group hum along - her enthusiasm, ability to motivate her colleagues and herability to keep an eye on what needs to be done are outstanding. This year Sherrey's work was recognised with an ALIA fellowship, a very welldeserved reward.Sherrey thanks for everyone in the ACT and even more thanks for agreeing to keep contributing.RegardsRoxanne
