WestPac Events at AALL

Via Mari Cheney: WestPac is just over a week away. Don’t miss our events at the annual meeting.

WestPac Chapter (AALL):

1) WestPac is hosting this year’s Pacific Chapters Joint Reception! Join your fellow WestPac-ers as well as LLOPS, NOCALL, SCALL and SANDALL members at Chicago’s famous Portillo’s restaurant, located at 100 W. Ontario (at the intersection of Ontario & Clark), on Saturday, July 16, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. Thanks to a generous donation from Thomson Reuters, in addition to a full buffet meal, drinks are on us!

2) Plan to attend the WestPac Business Meeting and lunch on Sunday, July 17, at 12:30 in the Hyatt-Plaza Ballroom A. Lunch is only $10. If you haven’t registered for the lunch yet, please send your RSVP and $10 payment to Jaye Barlous. (The registration form is attached.)

3) Finally, if you haven’t yet taken the survey regarding the likelihood of your attendance at the WestPac annual meeting in Jackson Hole, please take a minute to do so. It would help us in finalizing arrangements in order to keep our costs as low as possible. Of course you are not bound in any way by your responses.

Nominations for Life Membership

The WestPac Membership Committee invites nominations for life membership. Our chapter bylaws provide that to qualify for life membership, the nominee must

  1. have been an active member of the chapter for ten or more years;
  2. have reached the age of 55 years or older; and
  3. have retired from active law library work.

A benefit of life membership is the waiver of annual dues. Additional information and a list of current life members may be found at http://www.aallnet.org/chapter/westpac/lifemembers.asp.

We encourage you to think of colleagues who have retired in the last few years and consider nominating them for life membership. Please send nominations by Monday, July 25, to Stephanie Midkiff, Chair, WestPac Membership Committee: westpac.membership@gmail.com. And if you know of any updates or corrections to this list, please let us know via the same email account.

Any remarks in support of the nomination would be greatly appreciated. We hope to profile nominees in the summer newsletter and vote at the business meeting during our annual conference in Jackson Hole.
