James M. Cretsos Leadership Award: Start Small and Keep Building: Experiences in and Advice for Serving ASIS&T

EDITOR'S SUMMARY

Adam Worrall, winner of the James M. Cretsos Leadership Award, shares his journey with ASIS&T and offers advice for new members looking to get more involved with the Association. He encourages new members to attend the ASIS&T Annual Meetings, and in particular the leadership workshop, to find new roles for which the Association may need volunteers. Adam also recommends networking with other people at any ASIS&T meeting to find colleagues or people with common interests that may have interesting insights on the Association or information science in general. He talks about finding a scholarly home and thinks ASIS&T is a great potential home for many people in the field of information science. Adam encourages new members to start small by volunteering where they can and keep building on that by finding new areas of interest.
