From the President: Finding Our Balance with Respect

Abstract

At ALA Annual 2018, I was inspired by Michelle Obama’s conversation with Dr. Carla Hayden. Two things in particular resonated with me. The first is personal: that you can have everything, you just can’t have it all at the same time. It’s been an interesting year for me as President-Elect of RUSA as I’ve been juggling to balance work, life, and volunteering; a struggle I know we all face on a day-to-day basis.
