This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Standing Conference of Eastern, Central, and Southern African Library and Information Associations (SCECSAL). To commemorate this milestone, SCECSAL has honoured the presidents and chairpersons of national library associations that hosted their Association's first SCECSAL Conference in their respective countries.

It is with great pride that I announce Ms. Ellen R. Tise, Senior Director of Library and Information Services at Stellenbosch 肆客足球 since January 2006, has been honoured with the prestigious SCECSAL Presidents' Award. This esteemed recognition was awarded to Ms. Tise for her invaluable contribution to the success of the 2002 SCECSAL Conference held in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her efforts significantly contributed to the development and growth of SCECSAL within the region.

The SCECSAL Presidents' Award was presented to Ms. Tise in the form of a plaque during the recently concluded SCECSAL Conference, held in Mombasa, Kenya, from 22nd to 26th April 2024.

SCECSAL has a rich history, originating from the East African Library Association (EALA) founded in 1957. Since its first biennial conference in Dar es Salaam in 1974, SCECSAL has grown to become the largest and fastest-growing professional association in Africa, fostering a diverse exchange of ideas and experiences.

?We take immense pride in Ms. Tise's achievements and her ongoing contributions to the library and information services community. Please join us in celebrating this remarkable recognition and extending our best wishes to Ms. Tise for her continued success in her professional endeavours.
