NMRT sponsored program at ALA

Posted on June 25, 2009 by nmrtsecretary

Leadership Development in Transition: Steering the Ship from Helm and Deck
Saturday, July 11, 2009  |  3:30pm – 5:30pm  |  McCormick Place West W-196a

Librarians at all levels are challenged by the need for a new generation of leadership and for profound reshaping of the library as institution. Newer librarians full of enthusiasm and fresh ideas need organizational help to ensure their contributions have greatest impact. Senior librarians have administrative responsibility for the library’s future but need help in rethinking its structures. This program offers concrete suggestions about how library leadership can be shared in this transformative time.

Speakers:
Jill Canono, Leadership Consultant at State Library and Archives of Florida
Olivia Madison, Dean of the Library at Iowa State University
Nanette Donohue, Technical Services Manager, Champaign Public Library

Sponsored by:
ALCTS Leadership Development Committee
Co-sponsored by:
LLAMA Human Resources Leadership Skills Committee
ACRL Instruction Section

Generously supported by:
