The awards committee is soliciting nominations from the Leadership and Management Division for the 2013 Karen J. Switt Leadership Award.
Each year, the Leadership & Management Division honors a member who has shown outstanding leadership, served as a role model for others, and contributed significantly to SLA. In 1999, the award was named in memory of Karen J. Switt, a much-admired and much-missed LMD member. For those of you who did not know Karen, here is a link to a November 29, 1999 article from the Chicago Tribune that describes her life.
Here is a link to previous award winners since 1989.
To nominate someone for this award, please send an email to Hope Tillman (hope@hopetillman.com).
Please include in your email why this individual exhibits the qualities of Karen J. Switt – outstanding leadership, a role model, and one has made significant contributions to SLA.
Deadline for nominations is close of business on Friday, May 15, 2013
