In 1990 I became the Acting Director of the Cataloguing Branch at the National Library of Canada (NLC). NLC was an active early member of the ISSN international program, Canada having acceded to the ISSN Statutes under the auspices of Unesco in the 1970's. In that capacity I started to represent Canada on the ISSN Governing Board. NLC was very interested in international standards work, and had already gained a significant reputation as a leader in this area. I only continued that leadership tradition, and with the support of NLC, I became the Vice Chair and then the Chair of the Board. I was privileged to have played this role and I will always remember the many committed and passionate colleagues from around the world that I had the honour to meet and to work collaboratively with in order to plan the future directions of ISSN. I was also very fortunate to have had the guidance of two very intelligent, proactive Directors of the International ISSN Centre: Mme Suzanne Santiago and Mme Francoise Pellé. The ISSN program would not be the global success it has become without the total commitment and direction provided by these remarkable Directors.Downloads
