In recognition of their brilliant and indispensable contributions to the DLF community, to position them to do even more good, and as we look forward to welcoming a new colleague in 2018 (still accepting applications<https://diglib.org/join-team-dlf-program-assistant-conferences-events/>!)—the Digital Library Federation today announces<https://www.diglib.org/dlf-staff-promotions/> promotions and title changes for staff members Katherine Kim and Becca Quon. Please join me in congratulating Katherine Kim, new Assistant Director of the DLF, and Becca Quon, DLF Program Associate for Advancement and Awards! As Assistant Director, Katherine will be taking a stronger hand in budgeting, strategic planning, development and management of events<https://www.diglib.org/dlf-events/> (including the annual DLF Forum and our experiments in supporting local/regional meetings—”DLFx”), and in representing the Digital Library Federation to working group<https://www.diglib.org/groups/> leaders, CLIR/DLF affiliate organizations<https://www.diglib.org/groups/clir-dlf-affiliates/>, and as a partner within the wider community. As Program Associate for Advancement and Awards, Becca will take greater ownership of programs that create opportunities<https://www.diglib.org/opportunities/> and contribute to the professional development of individual community members, such as DLF fellowships<https://www.diglib.org/opportunities/fellowships/>, grants, and awards, our jobs service<https://www.diglib.org/opportunities/jobs/> (no<https://twitter.com/annaneat/status/937799568275550208> pressure<https://twitter.com/archivessarah/status/933389429040848896>!), and learning opportunities, including the eResearch Network<https://www.diglib.org/opportunities/e-research-network/>, workshops and webinars, and forthcoming programs under the banner of “[log in to unmask]” We’re a highly collaborative, teensy team, dedicated to serving DLFers in their shared mission<https://www.diglib.org/about/>, so we encourage you to continue to reach out to us jointly as appropriate, by sending queries to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Individual contact info for Katherine, Becca, key CLIR colleagues<https://www.clir.org/about/staff/> and programs, and for DLF Executive Director Bethany Nowviskie (that’s me!) is also available here<https://www.diglib.org/about/staff/>. Thanks, from all of us, for the opportunity to have worked for this wonderful community in 2017, and — just in case this is the last DLF-announce post you get from me before the holidays — I’m wishing everyone a peaceful, happy, liberating, and empowering new year.
