Join us for the inaugural ALISE Leadership Academy, February 7-8, 2019 in historic Charleston, South Carolina. The Academy is intended for all prospective leaders in library and information science - the confident, the hesitant, and the curious. Registration ended January 21, 2019. The objective of the Academy is to provide the next generation of leadership in library and information science with an opportunity to explore their possible interests in leadership roles as Chairs, Directors, and Deans. We aim to build interest in leadership and to build the confidence of prospective leaders. The Academy will create a cohort of future leaders who will have a network of colleagues to support their own learning and leadership development. The 2019 ALISE annual meeting in Knoxville, TN will include an opportunity for the cohort to gather, network, and continue building on the foundation provided at the Academy.
