Prior to the UACoM Phoenix position, Kathleen was the Health Sciences Librarian at Arizona State University, downtown Phoenix campus for five years and worked as a hospital librarian at John C.

Statement of Aims:<\/strong> I am willing to run for MLGSCA President because I have been nurtured by this organization. And with the help of its dedicated members MLGSCA will continue to assist librarians, information professionals and others understand that our organization promotes excellence in professional achievement, leadership and enhances the quality of health care, education, and research and dedicated to the support of health sciences research, and patient care. MLGSCA is one of the 13 MLA chapters that make up the larger parent organization. MLGSCA can only be valuable if its members continue to volunteer their time and expertise and contribute to the organization\u2019s success. I understand that most MLGSCA members have positions in hospitals, universities and colleges that are their primary focus but I challenge MLGSCA\u2019s silent majority to volunteer as chair persons, work on committees, and workgroups to continue to make MLGSCA a strong chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
