I am running for WVLA Academic Chair for two reasons. First, I would like to become more involved in WVLA and librarianship in West Virginia and secondly, I would like to work to create a more active academic section since I feel we have so much knowledge to share if we all work together. I look forward to joining you in enhancing and building lines of communications between all West Virginia libraries.

She also serves on the Finance Committee for HerdCon, Marshall University’s pop culture festival; Nominating Committee for Marshall University Library Faculty Organization; Chair of Physical Facilities & Planning Committee of the Marshall University Faculty Senate Organization. Angie is a member of WVLA, ALA, ALCTS including the Acquisitions & Collection Management sections, and WPWVC-ACRL, currently serving on the Conference Committee. Her past service to WVLA includes Secretary and Awards Committee Chair, as well as membership in several WVLA Roundtable groups.

Angie’s goals if elected, include helping the organization work toward meeting its goals during this time of unprecedented change.
