Please submit nominations to either Rachel Jaffe or Ken Lyons, co-chairs.

What to highlight about your nominee:

Recent and past achievements, emphasizing service to CARL. Be specific and provide dates where possible. For example:

• Successful CARL program planning
• Leadership in developing new goals, directions, and interests for CARL
• Accomplishment of special CARL projects
• Publication on behalf of CARL
• Outstanding public speaking on behalf of CARL
• Guidance offered to incoming professionals
• Consistent dedication to the needs of California academic and research libraries and the librarians and other staff who serve in them
