The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) is pleased to
announce that Jill O'Neill and Henrietta Verma have joined the organization
as Educational Programs Manager and Editorial and Communications
Specialist, respectively. Both bring to NISO years of high-level experience
in information science and print and digital publishing. They offer
expertise that will further NISO's goals of offering the community optimal
educational opportunities and reliable, timely publications.

Jill O'Neill has been an active member of the information community for 30
years, most recently managing the professional development programs for the
National Federation of Advanced Information Services (NFAIS). Her
publishing expertise was gained working for such prominent content
providers as Elsevier, Thomson Scientific (now Thomson Reuters), and John
Wiley & Sons. Jill continues to write for a diverse set of publications,
including Information Today and the Scholarly Kitchen blog.

Henrietta Verma is a librarian who has worked in public libraries in New
York, first as a librarian then as a library director. In 2006, she started
her publishing career at School Library Journal, where she developed the
magazine's Series Made Simple supplement. Most recently, Etta worked at
Library Journal (LJ), where she managed the reviews team and was the editor
of the science and reference reviews sections of the magazine. Etta
continues to review for LJ and is also working on book about writing and
reviewing that will be released in mid 2016.

"NISO is exceptionally fortunate to attract such well-known and
well-regarded leaders in our community," said NISO Executive Director, Todd
Carpenter. "Both Etta and Jill will add to our capacity and enrich the
quality of our efforts to advance technology adoption, efficient
management, and broader dissemination of information content to our
constituency."
