Biographies of Candidates

Vice President/President Elect - Christa Fowler 

I worked at various U.N. agencies in Europe for over ten years and then
returned to the Tampa Bay Area.  While caring for an elderly parent, I
finished up my AA from Hillsborough Community College.  I then
transferred to the University of Tampa, graduating with honors earning
degrees in both History and English.  Then I decided to become a
librarian when I grew up!  I earned my MLIS from the University of South
Florida in the spring of 2006.  After graduation, I was hired as a
Visiting Librarian with the Reference & Instruction Dept. at the USF
Tampa Library.  I am currently an adjunct librarian at the HCC Dale
Mabry Campus Library.  A self-declared Luddite, I have learned to like
(if not love) Lib 2.0.  I am a Second Life Librarian and have a Facebook
page as well.  I am willing to investigate/pursue anything that will
keep me current with the interests of Digital Age students! 

Secretary - Linda Garrison
 
Let's see...a bit about me...FSU for my MLIS in 2006; Saint Leo for my
BA in Bus Admin; I was Reference Librarian at Seminole Community Library
@ SPC for 2 years which I LOVED; recently took a position as Librarian
at Canterbury School of Florida, Hough Campus, and teach Internet
Research at Everest University (formerly FL Metropolitan U).
 
 
Treasurer - Cheryl Wolfe

Hello! My name is Cheryl Wolfe and I am running for Treasurer of the
Suncoast Information Specialists. 

I am a recent graduate of the Sunshine State Library Leadership
Institute and committed to serving SIS in a leadership capacity.
Currently I am the Digital Projects Librarian with the
Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library. I earned my MLIS from Kent
State University in 2005. 

Prior to librarianship, I was the Office Manager for the International
Women's Are & Space Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.  I managed museum
memberships, including collecting dues, preparing reports and increasing
the numbers of members. 

As candidate for Treasurer, it is my sincere pledge to maintain accurate
financial records and to ensure that revenues continue to exceed
expenses. If elected, I will work closely with my fellow officers to
meet the organization's needs.  I will also work to increase
memberships. As Treasurer, I promise to perform all duties with honesty,
integrity and dedication. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you
in the upcoming year.
