Steering Group
It was with great shock and sadness that we learned Michelle Anderson passed away suddenly on December 31st. Michelle was a much valued member of the NC community, giving her time generously as our treasurer and steering group member, and in hosting our 2019 conference at the University of Hull. We all admired Michelle’s intellect and professional achievements, and will greatly miss her contribution to the Northern Collaboration - but she will be missed even more for her unfailing warmth, vibrancy and sense of humour. Our deepest sympathies go to Michelle’s family, friends and colleagues at Hull.
The Steering Group acts on behalf of the Directors to guide the development of the NC and its work. It produces an annual programme of activities, based on input from Directors and members of NC libraries, and approved by Directors. Members of the Steering Group are elected for a period of three years with an option for re-election.
