SALLY HOLTERHOFF VISITS WITH COALL
by Karen Selden
University of Colorado Law Library

The Colorado Association of Law Libraries welcomed AALL Executive Board Member Sally Holterhoff for a chapter visit on April 19 and 20, 2001. 

On Thursday April 19, Sally toured three law libraries in Denver: the Colorado Supreme Court Library, the 10th Circuit Library, and the U.S. Attorney's Office Library. Her tour continued at Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP, where she joined CoALL's Executive Committee meeting and then addressed a general meeting of the CoALL membership. 

Sally impressed the group with the knowledge she had of our chapter -- she definitely did her homework before her visit! Sally also spoke about a variety of issues, including relationships among the chapters and with AALL, the direction CoALL and AALL will be moving in the next few years, and the importance of preserving chapter institutional memory, strategic planning for the chapter, chapter outreach programs, communication among chapter members, and chapter finances and tax status. 

The evening ended with dinner at a nearby restaurant, where Sally was an honored guest during CoALL's annual "appreciation dinner" for the Executive Committee members and active Chairs. On Friday April 20, Sally concluded her chapter visit by traveling to Boulder to tour the University of Colorado Law Library and the National Indian Law Library.
