The Washington, DC Chapter of SLA is kicking off the SLA Centennial celebration with a reception sponsored by Dow Jones. This signature event, being held at the National Geographic Society (1145 17 th St.) on Monday, February 9th, is expected to kick-off the year-long celebration in style. Our featured speaker will be Guy St. Clair, author of SLA's commemorative history, SLA at 100: From Putting Knowledge to Work to Building the Knowledge Culture. Mr. St. Clair will speak to members about what he learned in writing the book, share some of the association's historical highlights, and describe how these first one hundred years have been, as he puts it, "just prelude, a lead-in to our association's true greatness to come." Guy St. Clair is well known to SLA members as “Mr. Knowledge Services”, as SLA President in the early 1990's, and as a consulting specialist for knowledge services at SMR International ( www.smr-knowledge.com). The reception and Mr. St. Clair's book signing will start at 6pm with Mr. St. Clair’s talk starting at 7pm. Long-term DC SLA members will also be honored at the event with gifts provided by the SLA Government Information Division. The cost is $25 for DC/SLA chapter members, $40 for nonmembers and $20 for students/retired/unemployed chapter members.
