Dear Peggy,
Many thanks for this wonderful message. I deeply appreciate your
kind words
about John Roberts and his new position here at NEH. This will be
an
important step for both the NEH and the folklore community, and it
will
strengthen the support we can offer you as you develop programs at
the
American Folklife Center.
I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Sincerely,
Bill

Greetings Everyone!!
You will be receiving a packet in the mail later this week with our
draft Strategic Plan, our draft Bylaws, plane tickets (for some),
agendas, and other useful information to prepare for our February
17-18 Board Meeting.
I wanted to write now, however, to give you some breaking news.
Many
of you may know this by now, but our own Dr. John Roberts has been
named the new Deputy Director of the National Endowment for the
Humanities!! This is wonderful news for the country and sad news
for
us. John has had to resign from the AFC Board of Trustees, since he
is no longer a "private citizen". Although we will miss him as one
of
our Librarian-appointed members, we hope to see him at times as he
may
assist Bill and Wilsonia to represent the NEH in their ex-officio
status.
I know you extend hearty congratulations to John on this new
appointment, and also to Bill for getting such a wonderful deputy!!
Since they are both on this list, let me resoundingly say that we
are
very pleased and look forward to working with you both, and
Wilsonia,
as our NEH team. As we implement our strategic plan in the coming
months and years, we hope to work collaboratively with the NEH on
several projects and initiatives.
More later,
Peggy
