Friend, colleague, mentor, and overall brilliant guy, Stephen Abram is now Presdient of the SLA, a 12,000 international member organization, and his agenda: “Innovate in 2008″. Stephen always has great ideas and has mobilized a terrific group of volunteers to work with him in many areas — learning, impacting, communicating, and more. We look forward to his leadership as he blows the cobwebs from this almost 100 year old organization! Check out his two articles in the January 08 issue of Information Outlook: A Year for Innovation at SLA Will Mean New Opportunities & It’s Our Mandate to Release the Energy of Our Members.

Do you wonder what his keynote next month in NYC to O’Reilly’s Tools for Change for Publishing will focus on?
