Toby Brimsek joined the Society for American Archaeology as executive director
April 24. She attended the 61st Annual Meeting in New Orleans where she
received a warm welcome and was introduced to key areas of interest to the
membership.Noting that archaeology is figuring even more prominently in media coverage, archaeological issues are gaining attention on Capitol Hill, and the field generally faces some tough but exciting times, Brimsek said she looks forward to continuing to expand and enhance the stature and visibility of SAA throughout the Americas and beyond.
Brimsek brings to SAA 15 very productive years of association management experience. Most recently she was assistant executive director, information services, with the Special Libraries Association. Brimsek holds master's degrees in Spanish and library science.
