SIBA is thrilled to welcome Candice Huber as our Membership Relations Coordinator. They are the owner of Tubby & Coo’s in New Orleans, LA, and formerly a member of the SIBA Board. They are an instructor for the Professional Bookseller School, on the ABA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, and Programming Committee for Margins Bookselling Month. They are actively engaged in the regional and national bookselling scene, and bring a unique perspective on bookselling, with special insight into marginalized booksellers and bookstore owners.

"I’m so excited to join the SIBA team," says Candice "and I look forward to getting to know all of you better! One of my biggest goals as a board member was to communicate better with membership and find out the best ways SIBA can offer support, and this position will allow me to do that much more directly. I can’t wait to connect with you all, and of course please reach out if there’s anything I can do to help."

Candice will help SIBA better serve our member stores, grow our membership, and be a resource for SIBA members who need assistance, including facilitating communication with other members, the board, or industry contacts. In the coming weeks, you’ll be hearing from Candice as they introduce themselves and check in on your needs. In the meantime, you can reach Candice at candice@sibaweb.com.
