==Dawna Ballard==
He has a long history of public speaking and has hosted television and podcast programs as an expert on the Internet and technology. A sample of his speeches is available on [http://www.dr-chuck.com/dr-chuck/resume/speaking.htm his website].
For voting form drafting purposes:
"The general theme of my talk would be to take folks through the creation of my Python for Everybody book and curse on Coursera that is current the most popular programming course in the world. A little known fact is that the course was developed over five years of teaching programming to librarians at the University of Michigan School of Information :)"
He has a [bio](https://www.dr-chuck.com/dr-chuck/resume/bio.htm) available.
We should list him as "Dr. Charles R. Severance (a.k.a. Dr. Chuck)".

==Emily Higgs Kopin==
Emily Higgs Kopin is the head of digital collections strategy at the Swarthmore libraries. From her LinkedIn, she "is a librarian/archivist with interest and experience in digital collections, infrastructures, exhibits, and technology." I'm nominating her on the strength of her 2023 Code4Lib lightning talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McqOGzHfmOM&t=4486s), which was easily the funniest talk we've seen in years, and I would like 50 minutes of that, please.

== Eli Neiburger ==
Eli Neiburger joined the staff of the Ann Arbor District Library as a helpdesk technician in 1997 and was IT manager and Deputy Director before being appointed Director of AADL in 2022. Eli has given keynote talks about gaming in libraries, the impact of the web of library services, and embracing open source solutions at library conferences across the US, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. AADL has been rolling its own tech whenever it can for 20+ years, and Eli would be happy to give Code4Lib an entertaining and inspiring overview of what it looks like to run a busy public library using as little proprietary software as possible, from the ILS and catalog to digital archives, from staff tools to the public computing environment. Eli is the author of 2007's GAMERS.. in the LIBRARY?! and contributed to O'Reilly's BOOK: A Manifesto and to Well Played, a games journal from Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center.

== Patricia Garcia ==
Patricia Garcia is a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. Her research and contributions center on gender, youth, race and their intersections with technology and justice. She has led a project with public libraries to study how a computational justice program can support girls of color in developing identities in computing and programming. She would bring a unique perspective that joins educational work with libraries and technology in highly current and topical ways.
More information at [https://www.si.umich.edu/people/patricia-garcia this page].
She says: "If selected, I could speak about the work I've been doing related to critical data studies and the Feminist Data Manifest-No OR the work I am doing with public libraries to design computational justice programs for youth."

== Libby Hemphill ==
Libby Hemphill (Associate Professor, University of Michigan School of Information, Research Associate Professor, U-M Institute for Social Research, and Director, ICPSR’s Resource Center for Minority Data and founding Director, ICPSR’s Social Media Archive) studies social computing and digital curation. Her research on social computing has demonstrated the impact of social media on Congressional behavior, has shown how social media platforms shape public discourse in virtual and IRL public spaces, and has developed a natural language processing approach to detecting and intervening to de-escalate abusive online behavior. Her research in digital curation has studied the responsible and ethical use and reuse of datasets in research, the design of infrastructure and technology to support research data archives, the importance of curation for improving the FAIRness of social media and other data, and the impact of data reuse. Her practice of digital curation at ICPSR has made available transformative data such as TransPop, the first national probability sample of transgender individuals in the United States, and SOMAR, a platform for transparent, reproducible preservation and ethical access to social media data. She has worked with the Anti-Defamation League to understand and respond to online hate, and she has created a post-baccalaureate program to diversify the pipeline of students engaged in computational social science research. She is a transformative scholar who has used her expertise and position to democratize data access.
