2004 Legislative Staff Achievement Awards

::Nan Bowers, Nevada:: ::Marian Rogers, Wisconsin::

Nan Bowers

In Nevada's Legislative Counsel Bureau works a librarian worthy of the Legislative Staff Achievement Award: Nan Bowers. During her leadership tenure as LRL Chair, she was a vocal advocate for LRL and insured the staff section was heard in NCSL. In her home place, Nevada's Legislative Research Library, Nan has worked on the library web pages for the Legislative Counsel Bureau and also consolidated and converted all serial records in the library to a database in the late 1990's. Without much commotion in her quiet dignified manner Nan has that rare ability to recognize the needs of  the end user of legislative resources and move toward making practical accommodation whether within NCSL or Nevada, which is why LRL is truly pleased to grant her the Legislative Staff Achievement Award.

Marian Rogers

Marian Rogers has served the Legislative Reference Bureau for nearly three decades, currently serving as Managing Librarian of the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau’s Theobald Legislative Library. Her meticulous and consistent application of library standards and practices has been essential in maintaining the continuity of the library’s organization and workflow. Caring, compassion, and respect are the qualities that guide her management style. Marian’s dedication to the Library was most clearly evident during the preparation for our recent move to a new location. Her diligent attention to detail in every aspect of the design and construction of the new library underscored her knowledge and concern for every aspect of the Library’s operations. In addition to her day-to-day responsibilities as manager, she is an NCSL contact, editor to Index to the Bulletin of Proceedings of the Wisconsin Legislature, and cataloger. With all that Marian does, LRL is delighted to grant her the NCSL Legislative Staff Achievement Award.
