Continuing my series of introductions to your 2011 DSOC board members, I’d like to introduce Matt Von Hendy, Chair of the Public Policy Section.

Matt is a Research Librarian at the National Academies of Science in Washington, DC. He has been an SLA member for 5 years and a DSOC member for 3 years.

Although he currently lives in the Washington, DC area, Matt is a native Bostonian. He is also an avid runner, baseball fan, and birder.

Matt will be moderating the Public Policy Section program at SLA 2011 in Philadelphia, “Tracking Public Opinion in the US and Abroad.”

Matt says, “I look forward to seeing many of you at the session!”
