The AALL Nominations Committee is charged with presenting a slate of

Axtmann, President; James S. Heller, Immediate Past President; Janis L.
Johnston, Treasurer; Mark Folmsbee, Heather Braithwaite Simmons, Frank Y.

The Committee noted those members continuing on the 1999 Executive Board
would consist of five academic law librarians, one private law librarian,
and one state, county and court law librarian. Geographically, four members
of the current board are from the midwest, two from the east, one from the
southeast, and none from the west. One member continues minority
representation in 1999.
The American Association of Law Libraries was founded in 1906 to promote and
enhance the value of law libraries to the legal and public communities, to
foster the profession of law librarianship, and to provide leadership in the
field of legal information.
