Dan Montgomery writes: “June brings a burst of anticipation to ALA. Colleagues and members put the finishing touches on our most important event of the year, our Annual Conference and Exhibition, which will be held June 25–29 in Chicago. I’m eager to meet many of you and make the most of those exciting, jam-packed days. While this is my first Annual as executive director, I attended the conference last summer and was blown away by the sheer number of participants, the depth of quality programming, and the infectious enthusiasm and energy from morning to night.”
