Edited on 2/17/2022

The BadgerLink Advisory Group seeks to improve the ability of all Wisconsin residents to access and effectively use high-quality, licensed resources provided by BadgerLink, expand service visibility, and build stronger relationships between the service and stakeholders. By gathering the diverse opinions and expertise of Wisconsin’s learner communities, we will develop strategies to adapt and grow the BadgerLink service as needs evolve.

From a pool of 25 applicants, we are delighted to announce the advisory group’s five new members for the 2022-2024 term:

  • Marie Bonde, Lester Public Library (Two Rivers, WI)

  • Tom Carson, W. J. Niederkorn Public Library

  • Toni Heinowski, Muskego Norway School District

  • Neeyati Shah, Madison Public Library

  • Stephanie Snyder, Milwaukee Public Schools, Bayview High School

The selection criteria included a number of items intended to establish a diverse group of professionals. Group membership needed to include individuals from K-12 school or public library environments with different geographic locations, organization size and type, levels of experience, positions or roles, and backgrounds. Thank you to those who expressed an interest in this group!

These new members join five members that have stayed on for a longer term, to which we are grateful! These returning members are:

  • Karen L Howell, Clear Lake School District

  • Julie Pohlman, University of Wisconsin System Administration

  • Katie Roberts, Wisconsin Technical College System

  • Julie Schultz, Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin

  • Julia Waggoner, Northland College

Be on the lookout for more information on our new members and the group’s two annual meetings on BadgerLink’s Bulletin and the BadgerLink Advisory Group page.
