  The 4^th Annual Liberty Chapter Meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, from 10:00am-4:30pm at The Great Hall at The Rockefeller University; 1230 York Avenue, New York, NY 10065. The meeting will be held in-person and virtually. The theme for this year's meeting is “Delivering Information that Makes an Impact.”

  Program Details:

  Our 2024 keynote speaker is Stephanie Fendrick, FACHE, MBA, executive vice president and chief strategy officer at Virtua Health. Where are you, where do you want to be, and how will you get there? Stephanie’s talk will guide you through creating a strategic plan for your library and your career.

  We will also be joined by Chris Duffy, MLIS, AHIP, Director of the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine Library and Miriam Hoffman, MD, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. Together, they will discuss “library champions,” those super-members of your institution that support and advocate for the library. We’ll discuss how to find and foster these impactful relationships.

  The program also includes member and vendor lightning talks, member posters (new this year!), and built-in time to network with your colleagues and our generous sponsors.

  New this year: we will have a post-meeting reception in the Rockefeller University Library at 4:30pm! Join us while you wait for your train or bus to home.
