Welcome, 80 New Members to BSA!

July 30, 2021

We are thrilled to report that the Bibliographical Society of America’s first-ever membership drive has been a resounding success.  This membership drive was part of the Society’s efforts to bring our vision of a broader, more inclusive, and exciting bibliographical community to life. 

Our buy-one-give-one membership drive was designed to bring new and lapsed members into the community, and we are pleased to report that both new and lapsed members have gifted 60 BSA memberships to newcomers through their own membership purchases.  We extend a hearty welcome (back!) to each and every one of you, and offer our sincere thanks to the existing members who renewed their memberships early or purchased gift memberships for others.

We want to extend a special thanks to Council members for their promotion of and participation in our membership drive. President Barbara A. Shailor, María Victoria Fernández (Council Class of 2024), Nick Wilding (Council Class of 2024), Douglas Pfeiffer (Council Class of 2023), and Jackie Vossler (Council Class of 2022), all renewed their memberships early and promoted the program to friends and colleagues, gifting a total of 15 memberships.

The Society is grateful for the work of the Council and the Membership Working Group, whose many and varied contributions of time and talent help bring so much to BSA. All of us extend our sincere thanks to new and returning members whose membership purchases this year helped to make this program such a success.
