Dear Friends, A recent posting on HaSafran has led to a misunderstanding that AJL as an organization has endorsed a candidate for ALA President. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
AJL is remaining neutral in ALA's election and is looking forward to working with the current and future presidents of ALA-whoever that may be-on issues of importance to our members. We deeply appreciate the willingness of Emily Drabinski and Kelvin Watson to make themselves available to talk to AJL members a few months ago. We look forward to working with whoever becomes the new ALA Prsident in the future on projects that will benefit ALA and AJL. You can view the videos of both candidates' interviews here: Emily Drabinsky: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq9oNUjgGaQ__;!!KGKeukY!iPuhL2sYAzoJ6xgow01da423-YIAcNT21o1RuY9gjzvHnx0veeyb54FcuMm8wTR3l3FLECm86JZD4vg$ Kelvin Watson: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYy9PCzGYO0&t=20s__;!!KGKeukY!iPuhL2sYAzoJ6xgow01da423-YIAcNT21o1RuY9gjzvHnx0veeyb54FcuMm8wTR3l3FLECm8HXseNqU$ Again, AJL has not endorsed a candidate for ALA President or any other position in ALA during this current election. We regret this misunderstanding, and apologize to anyone who was hurt as a result of the post that reflected the views of a single individual, and not those of AJL. In peace and friendship, Kathy B. -- Kathleen M.
