Sandra Tung
The library community lost a great contributor and
professional last week.
Sandra Tung, a former Santa Monica and Altadena resident,
died peacefully on
April 23, 2008. Sandra retired from Boeing last year where
she was the
Business Information Manager for Business Development since
1998.
Previously she worked at Rockwell, Savage Information
Services and NASA
Applications Center. She set a very high standard when it
came to being
active in professional organizations.
Sandra was a long time member of the Los Angeles Chapter of
the American
Society of Information Science and Technology (LACASIS).
During the 1980's,
she played a major role in making LACASIS a stronger, more
vibrant
organization. Sandra, a talented leader with a "can do
attitude", was a
natural mentor. She understood the value of working with
new members to
insure the next generation of leaders would be strong. She
was active in
LACASIS for over 15 years and served as Treasurer,
1992-1995;
Marketing/Database Coordinator, 1995-97; Program Committee
member 1995-96;
and Awards Committee Member 1997-99. In 1994 she was
recognized for her
service and won the Outstanding Member Award.
One of Sandra's legacies is the continuing success of
LACASIS as a
professional organization. She will always be remembered as
a LACASIS
"super star".
Sandra was also very active in the Southern California
Online Users Group
(SCOUG) Steering Committee, where she somehow found time to
serve as the
Chair, Program Chair, Annual Retreat Coordinator and Annual
Workshop Chair.
She was also a member of the Special Libraries Association
(SLA).
Sandra was a multi-talented, warm woman who will be missed
by many. She is
survived by her children Doug, Diana and Irene, three
grandchildren and a
loving extended family.
Donations may be made in her name to San Gabriel Valley
