Dear Martha:

I am writing to you because you are in a leadership positions with SLA’s 
Washington DC chapter AND are listed on the SLA chapter website as 
having a Silver Spring mailing address. The National Regulatory Research 
Institute (www.nrri.org) is currently advertising on the SLA web site 
for a “Knowledge Communities Professional" (job advertisement attached). 
We too are in silver Spring MD, but, so far, all of our good job 
applicants are from outside the Washington D.C. area. My simple hope is 
that you may know someone who knows someone in the DC area who might be 
interested in working here. If you were to circulate the attached within 
the SLA's DC community, I will be most grateful!

Thanks in advance and all the best,

Joe
