ASIS&T is the leading society devoted to concepts and issues in information science, and I am honored and enthusiastic to serve as president for 2010. As ASIS&T enters the second decade of the 21st century we find new possibilities for expanding member participation in a myriad of information activities and for our society to participate more actively in the international discourse related to information concepts, issues and policies. I aim to focus my attention on increasing participation in ASIS&T on several fronts and in helping ASIS&T take on new leadership roles in information science as a vibrant field that supports a broad range of professionals.
