[Libs-Or] Please consider voting for Molly Raphael for ALA President in the upcoming ALA Election

[Suzanne Sager]

To all Oregon ALA Members,

On March 15, ALA will begin distributing an email message to all ALA 
Members regarding the upcoming election.  Ballots will then start 
arriving on March 16 and must be submitted by April 23.  I ask that you 
consider voting for Molly Raphael for ALA President.  Molly is recently 
retired after six years as the Director of Libraries at Multnomah County 
Library in Portland, Oregon.  Some of the reasons you should vote for 
Molly Raphael are her broad and deep knowledge of ALA and her experience 
in its governance at all levels; her long record of demonstrated 
leadership ability and experience; her extensive experience in working 
with government officials at the local, state and federal levels; her 
extensive experience with working with the media, both on and off the 
record; her long record of promoting ALA's core values (open access, 
intellectual freedom, and privacy) on the frontlines and through ALA; 
her championed diversity (in hiring, programming and outreach to 
underserved) and she received the Arthur Fleming Civil Rights Award; and 
she has built collaboratives across all types of libraries and community 
organizations.  Molly Raphael has truly walked the walk and will make an 
ideal ALA President.  Please take the time to visit her website at 
http://mollyraphael.org as you seek to make an informed choice.  There 
you will find complete details about her platform as well as her career 
experience and ALA service.  You can also read endorsements of Molly's 
candidacy from many professional colleagues, including several recent 
ALA Past Presidents from all types of libraries.

       Thank you,

      Suzanne L. Sager
Oregon ALA Chapter Councilor
