Starting with the 2010 Annual Meeting, ASIS&T established the New Leaders Award to recognize outstanding up-and-coming information scientists. The recipients for 2010 were Andrea Baer, Laura Christopherson, Alex Garnett, Margaret Gross, Thomas Heverin, Tina Jayroe, Sara Mooney and Denise Pasquinelli. Award recipients have been active in local ASIS&T chapter activities, and many were prompted by mentors to apply for the recognition. To further their leadership, they were expected to participate in a leadership activity supporting the Annual Meeting and to establish personal leadership goals for the future. These outstanding new leaders have taken on responsibilities for promoting and sustaining their SIGs, building chapters and recruiting members, developing webinars and workshops and building networking groups of information scientists with similar interests.
