 Hi, my name is Rachel Fleming, and I am this year's grateful recipient of the School of Information's Director Award for Excellence in Building Community for 2023. The more I learn about the world of information and the world of libraries, the more excited I am to continue this journey. Marianne Williamson said, In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. And in every heart, there is the power to do it. I see this power residing in library communities, and I am excited to roll up my sleeves, join a team, and get to work. Thank you again.
