Election Results Are In! Thank you to all of our members who participated in this year’s election and congratulations to our new board members! These new regional directors will officially begin their 2-year term in January. There were no candidates for the Region 9 position, so if you are a member of Region 9 and are interested in serving as the Regional Director, please reach out to Past President Jenny Umbarger at jennyumbarger@ncslma.org. If the position remains vacant, Region 9 members will continue to receive support through the geographic region in which their school is located.

 \SLNC Educator Survey
The Government and Heritage Library, part of the State Library of North Carolina, has created an Educator Survey to assess the needs of our teacher community and see how we can best serve them through our educational resources and services. Please take a few minutes to take this survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NCEducators2324 and share the survey with your colleagues so we can identify your needs and best serve our educator community.
