Making It Happen Where You Are 
Keynote speaker: JP Porcaro 
Leadership isn’t about a job title. It’s about attitude, character, and 
perspective. Libraries are places to foster community success, and that 
success starts with us. We all have the capacity to bring change to our 
personal and professional lives and our social circles by using techniques 
that effective leaders use. Join JP Porcaro in this presentation on 
bringing a Make It Happen attitude to our clients, coworkers, and personal 
friends through emotional intelligence. 

Bio:

at the New Jersey City University Guarini Library, and is a candidate for 
the 2016-17 presidency of the American Library Association. JP was the 
organizer and founding president of the ALA Games & Gaming Round Table 
(GameRT) and the ALA Comic Book & Graphic Novel Member Interest group. JP 
was an ALA Emerging Leader in 2010 and was named a Library Journal Mover & 
Shaker in 2012.  He is a founding member of the ALA Think Tank, social

This year's Michigan Chapter holiday event is generously sponsored by 
Frost & Sullivan and Automotive World.

No-Show Policy: In December 2007, the SLA Michigan Chapter Board 
instituted a no-show policy. If an attendee RSVPs and indicates they will 
pay at the door, and then does not attend the meeting, that attendee will 
be billed for and responsible for the cost. Attendees will have up to 72 
hours (three days) prior to a meeting to cancel via phone, e-mail or in 
writing (unless otherwise noted). In the case of personal emergencies, 
requests for exceptions will be reviewed by the board. 

No Cash Policy: In December 2007, the SLA Michigan Chapter Board 
instituted a no cash policy. Attendees may pay via PayPal. When paying at 
the door, attendees are requested to use checks or money orders, but not 
cash. This change is to a) eliminate the need for those who check-in 
attendees at the meetings from having to make change, and b) avoid a 
program committee member carrying cash after a meeting.
