Professional development of staff provides value to any organization; it fosters growth for the individual as well as for the institution. However, what happens when you have staff members who are unable to see the value of or know where to find professional development opportunities? This panel will discuss the importance of professional development for staff and how to motivate and empower staff to want to broaden their own professional knowledge.

What does it take to be a successful leader in an organization?

This panel will discuss how best to develop needed leadership competencies for our up and coming librarians.
