Chair’s Message: Winter 2025

Time flies — it’s already 2025.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered for PAM roles in 2024. As the incoming PAM President, I also want to thank our outgoing President (now Past President!), Sarah Siddiqui, and especially for stepping up to coordinate our conference proposals for roundtables while I was out for surgery this past autumn. Our volunteers for the roundtables submitted their proposed programs to SLA in mid-December.

Right now, I am starting the process for committee membership selection. If you are a current committee member and would like to continue, please let me know by emailing me at kayleigh.bohemier@yale.edu. If you have not served on a committee before and would like to, drop a line to tell me your interests. We especially welcome newer PAM members, as committee participation is a great way to get to know others in our community!

Last year’s committee list with members is listed at the end of this post.

Registration and housing selection for the 2025 SLA Annual Conference has started. This will be an in-person conference from June 7-10 in Pittsburgh, PA, at the University of Pittsburgh. I have heard that the program selection process is in its final stages and am sending good thoughts to everyone who worked hard on submitting this year’s roundtable proposals. Stay tuned for more information!

Best,

Kayleigh Bohémier (2025 PAM President)
