Meg Placke has responded with information on Rebecca Hamilton.    Howard, you will be interested in her passion for animals.    The other altruistic projects that are separate from her work interest me.     Just look over this material so we will have some background info for next meeting.

Linda,

I've attached the most recent resume and bio that we could find, but they are several years old.  If I ask for more current, it might tip her off:)

I'm sure you know of all of her incredible accomplishments as State Librarian, but you may not be aware of her outside projects.  Rebecca is incredibly passionate about animals and regularly rescues and fosters cats and other animals.  She holds clothing and shoe sales to fundraise for animal adoption causes and shelters.  She's incredibly generous  - after the floods, she organized a clothing drive for the State Library staff who lost their homes and possessions and made sure that she found them good business suits and clothing so that they could get back on their feet.

She's also a great fan of punk music and is currently working on a documentary on the Baton Rouge punk rock scene: http://www.nola.com/music/baton-rouge/index.ssf/2015/09/baton_rouge_punk_music_documen.html

Another article highlighting Rebecca's interests: http://www.nola.com/homegarden/index.ssf/2015/10/rebecca_hamilton_library_louis.html

I think she is very deserving of this award.  Let me know if I can do anything else to support her nomination.
