BCR's Clark Named to ALA Emerging Leaders Program
It is with great pride that BCR announces the acceptance of our own Heather Clark — BCR Member Services librarian — to ALA's Emerging Leaders 2007 program. The program is intended to train 100 new librarians to get a jump-start in leadership. The goal at the end of the program is to have each new librarian ready to participate in leadership in the association, one of its divisions or state chapters.
The program starts off with a day-long session during the 2007 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Seattle, followed by six months of online interaction, and finishs at the 2007 Annual Conference in Washington, D. C.
As part of the program, Heather will receive two days of training with Maureen Sullivan, organization consultant, and Connie Paul, executive director of the Central Jersey Regional Library Cooperative; participation in a problem-solving workgroup; networking with 100 peers; an inside look into ALA structure and an opportunity to serve the profession in a leadership capacity.
