PALS Day Speaker

The keynote speaker for PALS Day (Thursday, April 22nd) is Tracie Hall, founder and principal of GoodSeed Consulting Group.  She is also an analyst for the Boeing Company's Global Corporate Citizenship Division.  Tracie has worked in several different public libraries, served as Director of ALA's Office for Diversity, and was Assistant Dean of Dominican University's Graduate School of Library and Information Science.  In her presentation "May I Please Blow Up This Reference Desk?", Tracie takes a look at how society has changed and how libraries must adapt their traditional services to meet the contemporary needs of their users.  A library director in a neighboring state who recently hosted Tracie for a staff workshop said, "She was one of the best speakers, if not the best, that we've had in the area.  I recommend her enthusiastically."
