A message from Brian Striman . . .
Hey, TS fans. Here's a question that makes a difference in your professional life:
How do we get great programs that we need at each AALL annual meeting?
Answer: You.
Yes. You have an idea. The idea is the gold nugget.
But, we do not yet know your great idea. As a committee, we don't read minds.
Because of that flaw, unless you tell one of us now, or at the Seattle meeting MONDAY 11:45-12:45pm, or soon after the end of the conference, the idea goes into hospice.
We know. We know...... You don't want to hassle dealing with a proposal form, or dealing with making up learning outcomes, or that other stuff. You may not even want to be a speaker or coordinator. You hate being up front in a room filled with.... with..... "people."
WE DON'T GIVE A HOOT **WHY** YOU DON'T WANT TO SUBMIT a full blown proposal.
What we want is THAT IDEA. **THAT** idea. We want just the gold nugget idea that you think would be a great topic for a program of some length.
The Education Committee chair who's taken up the mantle of leadership to help find those gold nuggets is CHRISTINE DULANEY.
Christine is the Associate Law Librarian for Technical and Metadata Services at the American University Washington School of Law (the Pense Law Library).
Christine, Suzanne Graham and I will be expecting you to take time to come to the Monday at 11:45. We know there's the OBS business meeting at that time. We know there's an AALL meeting Program Committee open forum then. We know you'd rather go to have lunch somewhere with a colleague.
Fine.
Don't come to the meeting. Go get something to each and shop for new shoes.
BUT THAT'S NO EXCUSE FOR NOT GIVING US YOUR GOLD NUGGETS!! You can text your ideas to me (write this down on your hand in ink) 402-202-0013. You can email to Christine: cdulaney@wcl.american.edu you can tell me or Christine if you spot us in one of the hallways. We'll get out a slip of paper and write down the idea and get your name so we can contact you after the conference. Yeah, baby, this is going to work!!
Once you deposit your gold nugget, you can skip the Education Committee meeting.
Remember, "No whining about lack of TS programs for San Antonio" if you personally have not submitted an idea that you think would make a pretty darn good program. Silence on this is bad. We want communication. You and us. Pass us your ideas. Go long! Or, just hand it off.
Christine, Suzanne and I are excited to get your ideas. The Education Committee will draft up a proposal based on your idea/s and shoot it back to you. We will keep fine-tuning it for you. We want the gold nugget to be a nicely polished piece you or someone you agree to designate, to submit it to AMPC.

Thank you!
message from the TS incoming chair . . .
Soon I will announce one of the most important leaders in our Section.
THE CHAIR OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
THE CHAIR OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
The Chair of the Education Committee chairs the Education Committee.
The Education Committee, as a committee name, sounds pretty boring.
I know that.
However, year after year this plugger committee's job is to cast nets throughout the universe looking for ideas for good continuing education development programs for our upcoming annual meetings.
NOT this meeting in Seattle. Those are locked in.
Your ideas for San Antonio need to be in kernel form RIGHT NOW, or immediately after the Seattle meeting.
Do I make this reality understandable?
If we don't not get any ideas for good programs, we will miss the train. The AMPC will meet and the matrix of San Antonio will be crafted and slots compete for all kinds of topics and events.
We snooze, we lose.
Sometimes, we aren't snoozing, but there's confusion about changes in the way program proposals and timing to submit them, and even then, good programs can be washed away back into the ocean of time.
The thing is that YOU are in control of programs now. NOT as much the Education Committee, like in the past. But the Education Committee needs to know the pool of proposals and ideas to help ensure the best program ideas are not lost back in the brackish waters of the primeval soup of potential ideas.
So ***PAY ATTENTION*** whether you think you are going to San Antonio or not. We need you. We need your ideas. We need speaker ideas. We need creativity. We need diversity of topics and forums.

Don't Forget Your Ribbons!
Good morning,
this year, TS members who attend the conference will be able to show their pride in belonging to the section with ribbons to add to their badges! New TS members, those who have been in the section for a year or less, will get blue ribbons. Established TS members will get orange ribbons. That way we'll be able to identify fellow members at the conference. It's a great way to introduce yourself to members you don't know and to welcome new members. The ribbons will be available for pick up at the TS activities table. Hope to see a lot of you in Seattle!

Volunteers needed for OBS table
Hello:
Please volunteer for a time-slot at the OBS-SIS Activities Table at the Seattle Meeting. You will be able to "meet and greet" lots of new and old
friends! The following time-slots are needed during the refreshment
breaks in the Exhibit Hall:
Sunday July 14 (10:00 am - 11:00 am)
Monday July 15 (9:00 am - 10:00 am)
Tuesday July 16 (1:30 pm - 2:30 pm)
For each time-slot, it would be nice to have one to two volunteers. To this end, I do hope that you will be able to volunteer for one of the slots.
Thanks in advance!
