PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS: I have served as President in both the Canadian Association of Law Libraries and the Toronto Association of Law Libraries. I have volunteered a total of 12 years non-profit board of directors experience in these two organizations.
In 2013 I trained for and walked the Camino Frances pilgrimage route over a 5-week period in May and June with my friend and colleague Joan. We walked 780 km (500 miles) or an average of 26 km a day. In June 2017 we returned to walk the Camino Portuguese from Porto, Portugal to Santiago, Spain (200 km/120 miles). These were physical, mental and emotional challenges. We return for a third walk in the summer of 2020.
In 2014, 2015, and 2019! I trained for and rode 660 km (410 miles) in the Friends for Life Bike Rally from Toronto to Montreal, a fundraising event supporting the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation. I have also volunteered as road support crew for the Bike Rally twice, and look forward to ride it again in 2020.
Today I apply the determination, patience and focus I learned from these challenges to my every day work. I look forward to new journeys.
