Chapter Awards


    The Mark H. Baer Award was established in 1990 to recognize a San Andreas Chapter member who has contributed to the Chapter or to the profession either during the current year or throughout their career. Mr. Baer is recognized as the "founder of the San Andreas Chapter." After joining the Special Libraries Association in 1957, Mark served in many chapter, division and national offices. He served as president of the San Francisco Bay Region Chapter in 1965/1966, as president of SLA in 1976/1977, and was named to the SLA Hall of Fame in 1984. When the San Andreas Chapter was formed, he served as its provisional president. After 18 years of service at Hewlett-Packard, Mark retired from his position of Manager of the Corporate Library in 1984. He died in St. Helena, California, on October 10, 1986.
