I have benefited greatly from the weekly SHARP Friday meet-ups over the past several years and would be honored to stand for election. At its heart, librarianship is about helping a given community find and contextualize information while minimizing the cost of accessing it. Much of my professional service until this point has been with the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, where I have worked extensively on conferences, mentoring, and overall organizational management, all of which seem easily transferable to SHARP’s current and future needs.
