Shoshana Vegh-Gaynor is our new MW Chapter Chair Elect.

Shoshana is the Instruction and Reference Librarian at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, NM. She has worked at IAIA for a year and half and was previously at Ricker Library of Architecture and Art at the University of Illinois, where also obtained an MLIS.

As a relatively new member, Shoshana is excited to continue to increase involvement with the MW Chapter. In addition to Chair Elect, Shoshana is the Jobs Digest Volunteer for the MW Chapter and a member of the ARLIS/NA Professional Development Committee. Shoshana was also the 2020 recipient of the Mountain West Chapter’s Winberta Yao Travel Award.

In Shoshana's words: "As I have gotten more involved in the larger ARLIS/NA organization, I have been looking for ways to connect with our Mountain West Chapter as well. I believe that being chair elect for the Mountain West Chapter will be a great opportunity to serve the Chapter and create connections and support for our members."
