How many year(s) have you been a member of Wisconsin Library Association? 20+ What has been your favorite or most impactful function or event of WLA? WLA Annual conferences How has being a member of WLA impacted you or your career?
A WLA conference was where I learned about Open Educational Resources for the first time. That changed the direction of my career. No cost or low-cost resources is one of the top issues at technical colleges and K-12 today. Libraries are leading the way for OER.
Do you have a library role model (in Wisconsin or elsewhere) that has provided you with inspiration or guidance? Please share a little bit about it. How has being a member of WLA impacted you or your career?
