Relations Office</span></a>. Hodges was the associate director of communications and marketing at his death in 2006, but intellectual freedom and chapter relations were still his passions. A charter member of the <a href="http://www.ala.org/plannedgiving/ala-legacy-society" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0055a5">ALA
