There are some upcoming professional development opportunities, with more to come! See the events bar on the left with links to information about these events.

NYHeritage participants met in July at CDLC. There were informative presentations by colleagues at Albany Public Library, Hudson Valley Community College and Dudley Observatory/miSci. To learn more about how your institution can participate in NY Heritage (at no charge), please contact Susan at CDLC.

Geoffrey Williams, who has served as University Archivist and Campus Records Officer at University at Albany for 27 years, is retiring. He has been a staunch advocate for archives throughout the region, and served on the Documentary Heritage Program Advisory Committee since its inception in (approximately) 1990. Geoff serves on the New York State Historical Records Advisory Board and the boards of Capital Area Archivists and the New York Archives Conference. We wish him well!

Brenda Hazard, Library Director at Hudson Valley Community College, was recently honored with the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service. Brenda, who has been with HVCC since 2007, was recognized for her work in helping revitalizing the college's Marvin Library, which recently underwent a $1 million reconstruction and is now called the Marvin Library Learning Commons. Congratulations Brenda!
