President's Message
Hello all,
As incoming president to VASLA I am excited for the new year and want to start by building a successful chapter that fits what you want from SLA. Many of you have taken the first step with the survey sent out by President-Elect Heather Enderle a couple of weeks ago. We will be using the survey to determine programs for the year. I also strongly encourage you to take advantage of networking opportunities through the dine-in's and programs and the SLA Conference in New Orleans. One of the greatest strength's of SLA as an organization is the diverse talents each of us bring to our chapter. Thanks and I look forward to working with each of you in 2010.
Christian Pascasio
