Annual Banquet/Holiday Party

Librarians and Journalists: Central to Democracy

As DC/SLA rounds the corner to 2009, there is much to celebrate. We take pride in another successful year as a chapter while anticipating SLA’s Centennial and the next 100 years. Join your colleagues for a memorable Annual Meeting and Holiday Party featuring gourmet food, charming and historic surroundings, an attention-grabbing keynote address, and conversation second to none.

Our distinguished speaker will be Mr. Robert A. Dubill, a founder and retired executive editor of USA Today. A journalist for over 40 years, Mr. Dubill was previously executive editor of Gannett News Service in Washington DC. Under his direction, GNS earned two dozen national awards for enterprise and excellence, including the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. In retirement, Mr. Dubill (who also holds a law degree) lectures at universities and K-12 schools and has conducted journalism seminars in newsrooms across the USA. He will speak to DC/SLA about why librarians and journalists are critical to a democracy and will relate that belief to stories he has covered while working on literally thousands of articles.
