President's Message:
Welcome to the Washington, DC Chapter of the Special Libraries Association Web site. We provide a forum for information professionals in the Washington area to meet others, to learn, and to help each other develop skills for putting knowledge to work.

We run an active email discussion list, publish a monthly newsletter, and hold meetings, programs and networking events throughout the year. We reach out to students through scholarships and programs, and to the community through consultation and service activities.

We reach out to our DC neighbors by working through our Community Outreach Project. We're acting as good global citizens by initiating a "Twinning" project to encourage Chapter, Divisions, and individuals to support membership of a developing country librarian.

To find out more about our varied Chapter events and activities, follow the links on this page. And if you'd like to get involved, contact me or any of our officers or committee chairs.

I look forward to seeing you this year,

Diane Schnurrpusch
President DC/SLA, 2008
