The Special Libraries Association (SLA) has named its chief executive officer, Janice R. Lachance, as the recipient of the 2009 Dialog & ProQuest Member Achievement Award.
The award is bestowed on an SLA member for raising visibility, awareness and appreciation of the information profession or the association at large. Lachance was honored for her six years as SLA's leader and representative and her work to enhance the profile of the association and the information profession.
"Janice has elevated the status of SLA and the profession in general and has served us extremely well as a global ambassador," says 2010 SLA President Anne Caputo. "I am so pleased to be able to recognize her achievements with this honor, and I know that she will continue to live up to the spirit of this award for many years to come."

"What I have tried to do as the CEO of SLA is to get out there and tell the world about the great work our members do," she says. "I hope that I can be their ambassador and their emissary to people who don't understand their value, or who may undervalue or take their work for granted. I am determined to turn that around."
