Hello all,
Nominations need not be seconded, but it is an ALAC tradition that others may second the nomination as a show of agreement with the nomination.
I want to take the opportunity to second the nomination of Alan Greenberg by Olivier, and to offer my unconditional support and endorsement of this selection. In my own role as ALAC Vice-Chair over the last few years, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Olivier and watching him in action. It is a tireless job that requires a unique combination of diplomacy and assertiveness, being aware of the big picture while maintaining attention to detail. Few people I know could do it properly, yet we have a great recipient of the baton at the ready. I am confident that Alan will continue our tradition of excellence in that role. Having said that, I also want to thank and congratulate Olivier for his service to us, and look forward to welcoming him back to real life. - Evan
