Building Castles on Shifting Sand: Leading LIS Education Programs that Last


This webinar will feature a discussion about leadership for sustainable LIS programs from two distinct perspectives. Lisa O'Connor, a brand new program chair, will talk about preparing for and stepping into one's first leadership role, while Ken Haycock will discuss lessons learned from experience, throughout a long career managing several highly successful programs. The session will provide attendees with both a feel for what it's like to answer the call to lead as well as help them formulate a vision for managing a successful program.
