For those of you interested in a possible other library organization, we are posting this on behalf of SLA-SF. This will be their only announcement using the BayNet listserv.  Dear BayNet members, By way of introduction, my name is Tina Kremzner-Hsing and I am the 2024 President of the Special Libraries Association (SLA) San Francisco Bay Area Community. On behalf of SLA SF Bay Area, I welcome those who are interested in joining our Community of SLA to become a member of SLA.

Growing your professional credentials and skills on your own time with SLA's On-Demand Learning, free hangouts, and free round tables, conveniently available and waiting for you.

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues).
