SLD Names New VP for OutreachThe Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) of the Universal Service Administrative Company, which administers the federal e-rate program, announced September 8 that Linda Schatz will become the agency’s vice-president for outreach October 8. Since 1995, Schatz has been director of the Michigan Information Network in Lansing, where she established a statewide process for coordinating the purchase of telecommunications services among libraries, rural health care providers, schools, and other educational and local governmental entities. Earlier, Schatz was director of educational telecommunications for Iowa Public Television, where she helped develop the Iowa Communications Network, a statewide telecommunications infrastructure providing video, voice, and data services to schools, libraries, colleges, and universities. “Linda has been a pioneer and leader in bringing new technologies to the process of learning,” said SLD President Kate L. Moore. “Her knowledge and experience of the e-rate program will be invaluable and we are thrilled she is joining us.” Schatz, who holds a masters in higher education from Drake University, succeeds Mickey Revenaugh, who resigned September 3 to become marketing director for Broadband Networks.
