ellis vance fund

USBBY is pleased to announce the establishment of the Ellis Vance Fund for Twinning. This fund recognizes Ellis’s more than two decades of service to USBBY, first as treasurer and then for more than 15 years as Executive Director. Although his is retiring from this position, Ellis will continue to serve as USBBY’s liaison to our Twinning partners and to IBBY’s Children in
Crisis efforts. This fund will help to pay the dues of USBBY’s Twinning partners who would be unable to be a member of IBBY without USBBY’s support. The fund would also support other needs of our Twinning partners and also provide funds to specific Children in Crisis projects.
