coincides with first week of <strong>voting on the proposed name change to the
Association of Strategic Knowledge Professionals</strong>. No doubt many of you
have been following the lively debates about the vote on this Chapter's
listserv as well as your Divisions' forums. We believe this in-person event
will afford an excellent opportunity for all ORSLA members to share their
thoughts on this topic directly with the Association's leadership. All members
are encouraged to attend! </font></font></div>
