Recognized December 2010
The Board of the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP) recognizes Mary-Doug Wright for her volunteer work on behalf of the Association.
Chair, AIIP-L Committee
I couldn't have picked a better, more understanding person to run our AIIP-L. Mary-Doug has been so dedicated with all the problems we've had with Sparklist. She is so diligent, patient and reliable. When she says she is going to do something, she surely will. - Ellen Naylor, Director, Member Benefits
Mary-Doug says:
I believe in “giving back,” and being able to work with other AIIP members in a volunteer capacity has been a rewarding and enlightening experience. AIIP is one of the most supportive organizations I’ve been involved with, along with its congenial and generous members, and it is an honour to be able to support its goals.
I’ve been fortunate in my career to have worked with thought-leaders in health policy, health services, and health technology assessment research across Canada and internationally. As a member of AIIP, I now have a similar opportunity to work with thought-leaders in the information world.
