<i>creating</i> a community - and herding us cats). Speaking for myself, I could not have managed Alma without your help, and I am so grateful for everything I've learned from you and for your responsiveness to my panicked emails when I screwed something up. </span></p>

governance committee will be considering the position I currently hold, and what the next iteration of the position, and the consortium, might look like. And it’s a great opportunity for participating institutions to consider your needs and desires regarding
