By Cynthia Lesky, President, Threshold Information Inc.

Jan Chindlund of the Illinois Chapter has been named an SLA Association Fellow and was honored along with other award winners at the annual conference in Baltimore in June. The proclamation on the association web site declares:

“Jan is considered to be a visible leader at the vanguard of the profession. Her strategic perspective and ability to communicate with her peers and the leadership at McDonald’s Corporation have made her a shining star in the information profession. Jan’s ascension in the SLA community likely began when she was selected as the 2000 recipient of the Factiva Leadership Award. From there, people took notice of her valuable insight and abilities. A member of SLA for 19 years, she has been an active leader in the SLA Business and Finance Division and the SLA Illinois Chapter, and currently serves on the SLA President’s Task Force on Professional Value. Look for Jan to do more great things in her career and through SLA.”

Congratulations, Jan!
