[Michlib-l] Hey, Class I-III leaders! Applications now open for the 2021 cohort of Next-Level Leadership in Small & Rural Libraries

[Kristin Fontichiaro]

****Deadline Friday, November 6: https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/***
<https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/***>*

I'm delighted to announce that the application period is open for the
second cohort of the Next Level Leadership in Small and Rural Libraries
project. This online project is designed to be an in-depth, long-term
exploration into library leadership.

The program has four components:

   - Participation in twice-monthly professional development sessions from
   December 2020 - November 2021
   - A monthly informal chat with colleagues to talk shop
   - A $1000 stipend to carry out a project designed for community impact
   - A face-to-face conference (fingers crossed!) in November 2021 designed
   and led by participants

A laptop and access to Google Drive are required. Participant expenses --
including acquisition of a laptop if you do not have one -- are covered
with a $1000 professional growth stipend.

Space is limited to 20 participants who will be selected by application
based on their application, geographical diversity, balance of class sizes,
and experiences. Preference is given to library directors but is also open
to department heads and assistant directors. Online applications are due
online on Friday, November 6.
