She also taught “Measuring Your Impact” with Betsy Kelly, MLS, MBA at Virginia Commonwealth University for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Southeastern Atlantic Region. We’re pleased to note that Barb presented both of these workshops at the invitation of the sponsoring regions, and that all of her travel expenses were covered by them. Keep up the great work, Barb!
