New Leaders & Opportunities to Grow

At the conclusion of the American Library Association (ALA)’s Annual Conference 2022, our parent organization, REFORMA’s new term begins. Our state’s chapter follows the same calendar, therefore, starting on July 1st, we have new officers.

In our July Membership Meeting, 2021-2022 President Alicia K. Long passed the gavel to 2022-2023 President Mari Martinez Serrano and welcomed the new Vice-President/President-Elect Maria Vega.

The Board also thanked the chapter’s Secretary Nicole Gaudier-Alemañy, who served last year and had to resign since she moved to New York. 

The position of Secretary is currently vacant, but member Alma Ramos McDermott accepted acting as interim-secretary to take minutes and help with organization, until a permanent secretary is appointed (thank you, Alma!). If any member is interested to become our Secretary, please reach out to the Board.

President Mari Martinez Serrano also issued a call for members to join our Committees. We have openings in Public Relations, Membership, and Finance committees, as well as the Website Task Force. Please think about contributing your talents to help the chapter grow!

We are all REFORMA de Florida, juntos!
