Subject: Registration available for 2009 Women's Leadership Institute

ACRL is partnering with seven higher education associations to offer the
2009 Women's Leadership Institute, to be held from Dec. 6-9, 2009 in
Amelia Island, Fla. The early-bird registration deadline for the
institute is Sept. 18. Complete program details, cosponsors and a link
to registration materials are available at
http://www.acrl.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/events/womensleadership.cfm
<http://www.acrl.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/events/womensleadership.cfm> . 

 

The institute brings together mid-level administrators from across
campus functions to share experiences, develop a better understanding of
the campus as a workplace and culture, and create new networks and
networking skills. This year's program will have a special focus on the
economic challenges facing colleges and universities and what is being
done to address them. Through presentations, small group exercises, and
discussion, attendees will gain a practical understanding of what it
takes to be a leader on a college or university campus.

 

The program is designed for directors of libraries and those who report
directly to them in positions such as associate university librarian or
assistant library dean. Institute content will also be useful to other
campus administrators involved in senior-level decision making affecting
the entire library operation and involving other important relationships
on campus.

 

Registration fees include general and breakout sessions, program
materials, two dinners, two lunches, brunch and two continental
breakfasts. Institute participants will stay at the Ritz Carlton Amelia
Island, where a discounted rate of $159 per night has been secured for
the program. 

 

Direct questions on the Women's Leadership Institute to Margot Conahan
at mconahan at ala.org or call (312) 280-2522.
