The American Library Association (ALA) is still accepting applications<http://www.ala.org/cfapps/emergingleaders/index.cfm> for the 2017 class of Emerging Leaders (EL).  Details on the program criteria as well as a link to the application can be found on the Emerging Leaders Web page<http://www.ala.org/educationcareers/leadership/emergingleaders/>. The deadline to apply is August 1, 2016.



The ALA EL program is a leadership development program which enables newer library workers from across the country to participate in problem-solving work groups, network with peers, gain an inside look into ALA structure, and have an opportunity to serve the profession in a leadership capacity. It puts participants on the fast track to ALA committee volunteerism as well as other professional library-related organizations.



An ALA division, round table, ethnic affiliate, state chapter or school library media affiliate will sponsor nearly all of the selected applicants.  Each sponsor will contribute a minimum of $1,000 toward expenses of attending the ALA Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference ($500 for each conference).  Sponsorship is not required for participation in the program. A list of sponsoring units is included as part of the online application.



For more information, visit the Emerging Leaders Web page<http://www.ala.org/educationcareers/leadership/emergingleaders/> or contact the EL project manager at emergingleaders at ala.org<mailto:emergingleaders at ala.org>.



The ALA Emerging Leaders program is managed by the ALA Office for Human Resource Development and Recruitment<http://www.ala.org/offices/hrdr/> (HRDR).
