Should I be elected, I would bring to the American Library Association (ALA), its members, and its stakeholders my deep passion for the library field and my experiences in education and library administration.

Thirty-five years of experience as a leader has not only allowed me  insight into ALA's challenges, but also allowed me time to develop close associations with the incredibly talented members of ALA. Both the insight and the associations provide me with the necessary preparation to respond effectively to ALA's opportunities in the 21st century.

-- Herman Totten
