At the meeting of the CARLI Board of Directors this morning (Friday, September 25), I announced to my decision to retire as Executive Director of CARLI in July 2016. This was a difficult decision for me, reached after much consideration.
The July 2016 timeline should allow for ample time to conduct a search for my replacement. Over the next several weeks and months, I will be working with the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Board of Directors on a plan for the next steps. I expect to have more details about the search process for a new Executive Director after the state budget stalemate is resolved, allowing the administrative focus at the University to shift to other important issues.
It has been an honor to work with the staff and directors of the academic libraries in the state, and with the CARLI staff, throughout this first decade of CARLI’s existence. I look forward to continuing our important work over the next year, as we plan for CARLI’s second decade.
