[MNASIS-L] November 4th SLA Meeting - An evening with the SLA Executive Director and the Quality in Action Award presentation

[Janet M. Arth]

Please join the Minnesota Chapters of the Special Libraries Association and 
ASIST for a special evening with the SLA Executive Director, Janice 
Lachance, and the presentation of the MN Chapter Quality in Action award on 
Thursday, November 4th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Come help us celebrate the Quality in Action award and hear what's 
happening at the association level and Janice's take on the U.S. 
Presidential election.

The Honorable Janice R. Lachance is the 13th Executive Director of the 
Special Libraries Association.  A seasoned leader and communicator with 
more than 20 years experience in
public service and governance, Janice is a collegial executive and team 
player with a concertmaster leadership style that inspires both 
allegiance  and hard work.  From 1997 to 2001, Janice was the Director 
(CEO) of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM),  the federal 
government's independent human resources agency. Appointed to this position 
by President Bill Clinton  and unanimously confirmed by the United States 
Senate, Janice provided policy and program leadership for 1.8 million 
federal employees.

After leaving OPM in 2001, Janice transitioned to a successful management 
consulting practice specializing in strategic planning, communications, 
human resources management, and organizational transformation for 
membership and non-profit organizations.  From an executive management 
perspective, one of Janice's seminal achievements at OPM was to change  its 
culture from a "command and control" agency to the human resources
management consultant of choice for the many Cabinet-level and independent 
agencies that comprise the federal government's Executive branch.  Janice 
led the agency's 3,700 core employees in reformulating the agency's 
mission, as well as transforming the agency into an innovative, flexible 
and entrepreneurial human resources management organization
emphasizing customer service, practical solutions, and enduring results.

The first in her extended family to go on to college, Janice graduated from 
Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York and earned her Juris Doctor 
degree at Tulane
University School of Law in New Orleans, Louisiana (1978) where she divided 
her time between study and local politics.  She is admitted to practice law 
in the State of Maine and the District of Columbia as well as the United 
States Supreme Court. She has used  her legal training as an ever-present 
aid to clear thinking and to craft and interpret laws, regulations and 
public policy.
