“I am honored and excited to lead our association of energetic changemakers who are committed to our forward-looking goals that impact the higher education and scholarly communities across North America and the world,” said ARL Vice President/President-Elect Ballard-Thrower. “During the coming year, the ARL DEI Institute will undoubtedly lay a foundation for the institutional change that is so critically needed at our galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. I look forward to witnessing how this important initiative will equip us to equitably serve our diverse patrons and continue to work toward creating a more just society.”
