Abstract

EDITOR'S SUMMARYThe 2016 ASIS&T Annual Meeting in Copenhagen was the first major event opening Lynn Silipigni Connaway's term as ASIS&T president for 2016–2017. Connaway expressed thanks to the meeting co‐chairs for organizing a stimulating program with a variety of new and familiar events, attracting attendees from 37 countries. She recalled the SIG CON dedicated to Dick Hill, retiring as executive director. As Nadia Caidi steps down as Association president, Connaway recognized her leadership with plans to build on her initiatives to broaden membership, strengthen member engagement and support Association groups and other organizations dedicated to the information profession. Celebrations of the Association's 80th anniversary are being planned throughout the year to culminate at the 2017 Annual Meeting. Connaway noted other international chapter events in Italy, Barcelona and Taipei scheduled for fall 2017. She closed by inviting members to get involved in Association committees.
