In Memoriam

Beloved former staff member Janet Smith, who served as NALP's Director of Publications from 1990-2016 and Senior Editor until June of 2020, passed away on Tuesday, October 17. Additional information will be posted on the NALP website. When Janet retired from her full-time position, then-Executive Director James Leipold wrote a beautiful tribute that highlights what a force she was within the NALP community and, more than that, what an extraordinary person she was. She will be mourned by many of us.
