The Association of Boston Law Librarians (ABLL) is a diverse group with members from Boston area private law firms, law schools, federal and state agencies, as well as businesses. ABLL was founded in 1966 when the librarian of Choate, Hall & Stewart initiated informal luncheon meetings among Boston law firm librarians in order to get acquainted, exchange ideas and discuss common issues. The group focuses on providing educational and social opportunities for its members.
This year’s annual Business Meeting was held at Hampshire House on May 16. The meeting opened with a welcome and president’s report from Sarah Bennet. Following this report, the nominated board members were unanimously voted in. This included Kevin Coakley-Welch as the Vice President/President Elect, Rebecca Carpenter as the Treasurer, Sarah Hart as the Communication Chair, Kara Mack as the Education Chair, and Christie Schauder as the Sponsorship-Events Chair. Jenna Fegreus concluded the meeting with the incoming president’s message. Many thanks to everyone who attended and planned the event. We look forward to a busy and successful year ahead!
