Jonna Peterson is a worthy candidate for the HSLI Starfish Thrower Award. In the past two years, especially, she has willingly and voluntarily stepped into various duties in HSLI leadership and the Annual Conference Committee. This includes: Membership Committee Chair (appointed position), Treasurer (elected position), and Conference Planning Committee (Posters/Lightning Talks Subcommittee). She has been a great HSLI team player, cheerful, and responsive.
