“I am proud to announce this year’s winners of the Marian Gould Gallagher Distinguished Service Award,” said AALL President Femi Cadmus. “While the Gallagher Award always recognizes the best among us for their many years of service and leadership, I’m particularly proud of the outstanding contributions of this year’s recipients. Ken Hirsh, Jacquelyn Jurkins, Darcy Kirk, and James Heller represent the best of us as educators, leaders, and innovators, and serve as examples of inspiration through service. I applaud them for their years of dedicated service, and I congratulate them on this distinguished honor.”
