Director, Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, for his eleven years of service to NEO-RLS. In addition to serving two terms as President, Jim participated for multiple years on the Finance Committee, the Bylaws/Policy Committee, the Audit Committee and
the Strategic Planning Committee, serving as Chair of each at various times. We will miss his perspective and insights, commitment, and wealth of historical institutional knowledge. I would also like to thank Tracee Murphy, Director, Wellsville Carnegie
Public Library. Tracee has served on the Board for three years, participating on the Finance Committee. During her tenure, Tracee has effectively represented our small libraries throughout the region and provided valuable insight with regard to dues and
fees. We are welcoming back Kris Carroll, Assistant Director, Geauga County Public Library (Zone 1 Library), Michelle Alleman, Director, McKinley Memorial Library (Zone 3 Library) and Leslie Cade, Director of Museum Archives, Cleveland Museum of Art, Ingalls
Library and Archives (Special Library). In addition, we welcome three new Board members –
