[Michlib-l] Next info session for Next-Level Leadership in Small and Rural Libraries: Monday @ noon!

[Kristin Fontichiaro]

*JOIN US!*

*Monday, November 2, at noon is our second informational webinar about the
2021 **Next Level Leadership in Small and Rural Libraries project, an
in-depth, long-term exploration.* (Zoom link here
<https://libacad.sites.uofmhosting.net/apply-for-2021/>)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

We know that we're all living in weird times, and you may think you can't
stretch yourself further ... but consider that being part of a *group *could
actually give you a network of colleagues and a deeper well of strategies
to make this possible. Everything is online except for the November 2021
conference.

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 from Class I-III libraries who will be
selected by application based on their application, geographical diversity,
balance of class sizes, and variety of past 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.
