A Note From the Executive Director
[https://neo-rls.org/photos/81676_11022021091152.jpg]I have been tasked with making the bittersweet announcement that Debbie Blair is leaving NEO-RLS, effective September 23 rd , 2022. Debbie has served as Fiscal Officer with NEO-RLS for over 13 years and her kindness, professionalism, and expertise will be missed. I know the NEO-RLS Board, staff, and members share in my appreciation of all that Debbie has done for NEO-RLS over the years including keeping our organization fiscally strong, developing vendor relationships that benefit the members, maintaining our technology infrastructure, and so much more. Debbie has accepted the position of Fiscal Officer [https://neo-rls.org/photos/35219_01302017090821.jpg] with the Southwest Public Libraries and will be moving closer to her family. Please join me in congratulating Debbie on her new adventure!

Have a great day!
