CERL Annual General Meeting 2017
Organized by: CERL
Speaker(s): Claudia Fabian,Marian Lefferts
Together with a large number of Amsterdam colleagues, CERL organised its annual event on 25-27 October 2017. After the meeting of the Coordinating Committee on Wednesday 25 October, the committee together with the CERL Directors had the opportunity to say farewell to Ulf Göranson, who had been CERL Chairman since 2011.
Over dinner hosted at the Bijzondere Collecties of the University of Amsterdam, Claudia Fabian thanked Ulf for years of acting as CERL Chairman:
“You were always reliable, conscious, endurable, responsible, active, putting a clear beginning and end to the unnumbered sessions you presided over. You were always good company, enjoying culture, history, food, wine, the cooperation with your peers. You remained open and curious about many things and somehow enjoyed the burden of travelling.”
At the end of the Annual General Meeting on Friday 27 October, Marian Lefferts gave a brief overview of the cities and libraries that CERL, together with Ulf, had visited over the past six years, and noted that this album would be shared with Ulf in due course.
