I enjoyed tonight’s SLA Toronto Gala dinner celebrating 1oo years of the Special Libraries Association (SLA). There was an also an exhibit showing the history of the Toronto Chapter of SLA dating back to its founding in the 1940s – the exhibit included photos, a list of past Presidents and plenty of vintage newsletters. In addition, about 20 former Presidents of SLA Toronto attended and I met some of them. The keynote address of the event was given by SLA President Gloria Zamora who spoke about the value of professional associations generally and some specific projects like the SLA Alignment Project. The event was a pleasant combination of reflection on the Association’s past achievements and future prospects.
