Vote for Heidi!

I just read the post on Heidi Dolamore’s blog announcing that she was nomination to run as an ALA Councilor-at-Large in the 2006 election was accepted.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Heidi at annual in Chicago this year, and the somewhat indirect pleasure of working with her as a conference blogger on the PLA Blog. She’s good stuff, just the type of candidate from whom the newer-thinking generation can expect great things and be proud. And she’s from *Canada*. :)
While I don’t see myself getting involved in ALA anytime soon (I’d sooner lose a limb; although I am contemplating dipping my toe in the lake of MLA), and I wouldn’t wish ALA’s bureaucratic nature on my worst enemy (actually, I might…), I’m all about supporting those stronger and more motivated than I in their efforts to get involved and help make changes for the better. Besides, being a cheerleader for an intrepid rock star is an important role. ;)
So yes, read her blog, keep and eye on her, and consider actually filling out that goddawful-long form to vote for Heidi in the next ALA election.
