The Nominating Committee thanks those who nominated individuals, those who volunteered, those who considered their nominations, but declined, and especially thanks those who agreed to run for office. As was said in the first notice of the process, "The Technical Services Special Interest Section has been a vocal and successful advocate for educational programming of value to section members, a strong source of networked information assistance, and an enjoyable source of camaraderie for its members. It has been able to do so because individuals have volunteered to take on leadership roles."
