One aspect that I think is critical for any information services position is professional development. I enjoy and gain a lot from attending conferences, seminars, webinars, and workshops. I am also passionate about keeping up with information and what is happening in libraries from all over the world. I am actively involved in the California Library Association, and have been involved in several programs. Below I have listed my involvement.
