00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:04.300
Agenda Item: Recognition and Day 1 Wrap-Up
MS.

4
00:00:04.300 --> 00:00:05.300
GONSALVES: Welcome back.

5
00:00:05.300 --> 00:00:09.970
I wanted to look at the end of the day and
be able to offer this recognition and wrap-up

6
00:00:09.970 --> 00:00:13.260
of all the incredible work that folks have
done.

7
00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:18.310
We are happy to announce our recognition for
your heroic and timely efforts in special

8
00:00:18.310 --> 00:00:19.470
categories.

9
00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:25.580
Typically, there are three awards given representing
one from each of the three program officer

10
00:00:25.580 --> 00:00:26.869
portfolios.

11
00:00:26.869 --> 00:00:36.600
So the first one, timely and complete SPR
submissions can be a heavy lift even for heroes,

12
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:47.730
but start with those heroes who submitted
SPRs at the speed of SPR light.

13
00:00:47.730 --> 00:00:51.699
And first up is Alaska.

14
00:00:51.699 --> 00:00:52.699
What a performance.

15
00:00:52.699 --> 00:00:57.460
This is awarded to the Alaska Department of
Education Early Development for your extraordinary

16
00:00:57.460 --> 00:01:05.550
courage and being one of the first to submit
to the SPR.

17
00:01:05.550 --> 00:01:07.860
Next is Maine.

18
00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:18.300
You too, also were able to get in there first
and submit your SPR.

19
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:22.580
And you crushed it North Dakota.

20
00:01:22.580 --> 00:01:26.640
Thank you very much for that.

21
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:34.960
Next, we were blown away by the tenacious
and collective push for your certifications

22
00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:38.740
and assurances and for the 2020 Grants to
States awards.

23
00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:49.340
In fact, in one program officer's portfolio,
two states tied for first place.

24
00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:56.640
Michigan, you submitted one of the earliest
signed assurances.

25
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.450
And it is a great honor to award you this
award your model for truth, justice and the

26
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:05.940
American way.

27
00:02:05.940 --> 00:02:20.030
Pennsylvania, you too were able to get in
and submit your assurances and certification.

28
00:02:20.030 --> 00:02:27.760
Oklahoma, thank you for striking lightning
fast.

29
00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:34.000
And with Oklahoma is the Library of Virginia.

30
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:41.700
It was too close to call, so you are in the
hero league as well.

31
00:02:41.700 --> 00:02:49.550
As we all launched ourselves into a stratosphere
of new eGMS technology, there were a few who

32
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:53.060
rode blindingly fast.

33
00:02:53.060 --> 00:03:02.530
Amazing Arkansas, you were one of the first
eGMS messages to come through.

34
00:03:02.530 --> 00:03:06.819
And California, very clever.

35
00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:09.080
Thank you for that.

36
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.600
Nebraska, very nice.

37
00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:19.840
Thank you for being among the few and the
first to get your messages through.

38
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:28.270
So who are those masked mentors who give so
willingly to save the day?

39
00:03:28.270 --> 00:03:33.630
We would like to give a huge thank you to
our magnificent mentors.

40
00:03:33.630 --> 00:03:38.650
Every year, we like to recognize the veteran
members of our community who are willing to

41
00:03:38.650 --> 00:03:44.290
share their superhero expertise by being a
mentor to new LSTA coordinators and their

42
00:03:44.290 --> 00:03:47.040
state library staff colleagues.

43
00:03:47.040 --> 00:04:00.540
Jaime Ball, Ashley Bowers, Cindy Boyden, Rachel
Cook, Karen Egan, Debbie Hall, Jean Heilig,

44
00:04:00.540 --> 00:04:10.690
Janet McKenney, Nancy Medema, Kathleen Moeller-Pfeiffer,
Jennifer Peacock, Karen Rice and Judy Tirey.

45
00:04:10.690 --> 00:04:13.670
Thank you, mentors.

46
00:04:13.670 --> 00:04:22.290
You certainly saved the day.

47
00:04:22.290 --> 00:04:24.990
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary
heroes!

48
00:04:24.990 --> 00:04:28.430
And now a word about all of our superheroes.

49
00:04:28.430 --> 00:04:31.461
As you have heard repeatedly, this has been
an extraordinary year.

50
00:04:31.461 --> 00:04:35.349
From the start, it was filled with changes
and challenges for all.

51
00:04:35.349 --> 00:04:40.210
We did not want to let this opportunity go
by without recognizing the hard work and agile

52
00:04:40.210 --> 00:04:45.860
responsiveness from every one of you and your
team.

53
00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:53.279
If you remember, building on the last LSTA
conference, we signaled to everyone that it

54
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.300
was time to change over to your new five-year
goals in the SPR.

55
00:04:57.300 --> 00:04:58.939
And everyone hit that mark.

56
00:04:58.939 --> 00:05:02.089
Kapow and kudos.

57
00:05:02.089 --> 00:05:08.830
We brought all of our hopes and dreams, really
12 years in the making to fruition.

58
00:05:08.830 --> 00:05:14.150
Last fall, it was such an exciting time to
finally implement and share with you our new

59
00:05:14.150 --> 00:05:18.979
and first publicly accessible Electronic Grants
Management System.

60
00:05:18.979 --> 00:05:21.350
And you all jumped in like pros.

61
00:05:21.350 --> 00:05:23.490
Thank you for that.

62
00:05:23.490 --> 00:05:31.279
And lastly, the New Museum and Library Services
Act was put into place in January with your

63
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.689
2020 grant award.

64
00:05:32.689 --> 00:05:37.759
As you recall, this was the umbrella legislation
for the LSTA.

65
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.770
We got to direct additional resource funding
for your superpowers by raising the base for

66
00:05:42.770 --> 00:05:43.789
state allotment.

67
00:05:43.789 --> 00:05:48.770
And we incorporated the three freely associated
states for the first time into the larger

68
00:05:48.770 --> 00:05:50.770
portfolio of grant recipients.

69
00:05:50.770 --> 00:05:51.770
MS.

70
00:05:51.770 --> 00:05:53.330
DEVOE: Hurray.

71
00:05:53.330 --> 00:05:55.879
This is Teri.

72
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:02.759
Deirdre, thank you so much for walking us
through that super hero recognition portion.

73
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.860
It was a lot faster than it in prior years
because we didn’t stop to take all your

74
00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:08.210
pictures.

75
00:06:08.210 --> 00:06:12.389
Although we are thinking fondly of all of
you out there wherever you are tuning in from.

76
00:06:12.389 --> 00:06:20.050
And just to note that if your individual state
was recognized, we will be sending you a digital

77
00:06:20.050 --> 00:06:24.920
copy of your certificate after the conference
just in case you are frantically trying to

78
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:25.920
take a screenshot.

79
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:31.009
This is one deck that we did not load to the
website in advance.

80
00:06:31.009 --> 00:06:33.830
We wanted it to be a little bit of a surprise.

81
00:06:33.830 --> 00:06:39.189
But we will make sure that you get your recognition
in hand, so that you have a copy of it.

82
00:06:39.189 --> 00:06:42.580
Well, we have made it through today.

83
00:06:42.580 --> 00:06:47.020
And tomorrow, we are going to have some great
presentations to look forward to.

84
00:06:47.020 --> 00:06:55.279
Our colleague, Matt Birnbaum, who is the supervising
social scientist and works with Lisa, is going

85
00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:01.050
to highlight a number of projects from this
year's SPR, specifically around digital literacy

86
00:07:01.050 --> 00:07:02.119
and broadband.

87
00:07:02.119 --> 00:07:07.879
Then we are going to have a bunch of states
that will tell us about their discretionary

88
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.419
IMLS projects in a lightening talk format.

89
00:07:11.419 --> 00:07:13.960
And that will be moderated by Madison.

90
00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:20.749
We will have a cameo from Dennis Nangle who,
as we have said throughout, is not physically

91
00:07:20.749 --> 00:07:23.080
with us during this conference.

92
00:07:23.080 --> 00:07:26.000
But he did some advance work and recorded
something for you.

93
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:32.699
So you will get a brief overview of web tools
for grants management and IMLS data.

94
00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:37.139
And then we will hear from three states that
have been approaching disaster preparedness

95
00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:38.270
in different ways.

96
00:07:38.270 --> 00:07:41.930
And that session will be moderated by Michele.

97
00:07:41.930 --> 00:07:47.189
We really appreciate you hanging in there
with us through this virtual format.

98
00:07:47.189 --> 00:07:52.069
And again, if we weren't able to answer your
questions during the presentations themselves,

99
00:07:52.069 --> 00:07:56.310
we will be getting a transcript of those to
follow up with you after the meeting.

100
00:07:56.310 --> 00:08:03.460
So I think the best recognition we can give
you is some of your time back today and say

101
00:08:03.460 --> 00:08:07.360
kudos and we did it, and we look forward to
doing it with you again tomorrow.

102
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.189
(The conference adjourned at 4:40 p.m.)
