NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program
The Leadership Fellows Program will be on hiatus for one year due to the immediate and long-term impact of COVID-19. There will not be a 2020/2021 class. AAHSL plans to open applications for the 2021/2022 class in spring 2021. The program will complete its events for the current 2019/2020 class.
The Future Leadership Committee does not make this suggestion lightly, but given the severity and uncertainty of the current situation and the unknown duration and long-term impact COVID-19 will have on libraries, institutions, and their staffs, we believe that suspending the program for one year would be a wise move. This year-long hiatus would allow the economy and institutions to recover from the impact of COVID-19.
NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program
The NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program prepares emerging leaders for director positions in academic health sciences libraries. The jointly sponsored program matches fellows and mentors in a one-year leadership development program. Since the program began in 2002, 49 percent of fellow graduates have assumed director positions.
The candidate pool for fellows and demand for the program remain strong. Selection is competitive and recognition of a substantial record of leadership accomplishment and potential for a director position. The cohort includes five fellows and their mentors, who begin their work together at the November AAHSL meeting in Phoenix.
The program provides a combination of in-person and virtual learning experiences for fellows and offers the opportunity to work collaboratively with the cohort of participants. Fellows are paired with mentors who are academic health sciences library directors. Mentors work closely with their fellows throughout the year and host their fellow’s visit to their library.
