It would be a big oversight if were to fail to mention that Suzi Dubin, AJL President from 2008-2010, was instrumental in making AJL the 27ᵗʰ ALA Affiliate in early 2010. Among the many great things Suzi did for AJL before, during, and after her term as president was not only all the work she put in to assure AJL would be an affiliated association of ALA and in making sure all the required documentation was signed and submitted, but she also insisted that the holder of the position of ALA liaison be an AJL Council member (since 2014, reports to Council). I am most grateful for all Suzi did and continues to do for AJL and Judaica librarianship. She certainly deserves much credit, along with our heartfelt appreciation! Thank you, Suzi!
