Casimira (Casi) Kostecki is taking a break from her Bookbuilders West responsibilities to focus on her new career outside the publishing industry. Casi has been an indispensable member of the West Coast publishing community for many years, first working in Southern California and serving as President of Southern California Bookbuilders.

Casi received the Bookbuilders West Distinguished Service Award in 1992. Casi, your many contributions to the organization are greatly appreciated, and you will be missed. Best wishes as you begin your newest adventure!
