Dalia Corkrum was elected as a representative of the America's Regional Council to Global Council in 2010. Her extensive experience with OCLC and regional academic library consortia have contributed to her passionate commitment to global library collaboration.

From 1988-2005 she served as the library director at Saint Martin's University where she had programmatic and supervisory responsibilities for the construction of a Michael Graves-designed library. Earlier career positions included Head of Technical Services at both Tacoma (WA) and St. Charles (IL) Public Libraries and cataloging opportunities at Aurora University, Air Products & Chemicals and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
