New Directors Symposium 2009-2010
AAHSL is pleased to announce that the following directors have been selected to participate in the 2009-2010 AAHSL New Directors Symposium and that these experienced directors have agreed to serve as faculty for the program. Other leaders of partner organizations will be invited to present to the symposium in later program components.
The first meeting of the AAHSL New Directors Symposium was held November 7 in Boston. Led by Maureen Sullivan, the new directors and faculty got to know one another and had a lively discussion about library director roles and models for leadership. On January 26, Carol Jenkins and Elaine Martin will facilitate a webinar discussion on future roles for libraries.
The goal of the symposium is to introduce new directors to a professional community that will contribute to their success at their own institutions and as members of AAHSL. The symposium takes place over the period of November 2009 to May 2010, with virtual meetings combined with in-person meetings held in conjunction with AAHSL and MLA annual meetings.
Two more new directors joined the group; a revised roster of participants and faculty follows.
