Emerging Leaders application process now open<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p>The American Library Association (ALA) is now accepting applications
for the
2010 class of Emerging Leaders. Applications can be found at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ala.org/cfapps/emergingleaders/">http://www.ala.org/cfapps/emergingleaders/</a> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The deadline to apply is July 31, 2009.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The program is designed to enable approximately 100 library workers
to get
on the fast track to ALA and professional leadership. Participants are
given the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, network with
peers and
get an inside look into the ALA structure and activities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For the first time since its establishment, the Emerging Leaders
program
will accept non-MLS library workers. Library support staff personnel
are
encouraged to apply to the program and will have an opportunity to be
considered for sponsorship through the ALA Library Support Staff
Interests
Round Table.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>An ALA division, round table, ethnic affiliate, state chapter or
school
library media affiliate will sponsor approximately one-third of the
selected
applicants. Each sponsor will contribute $1,000 toward expenses ($500
for
each conference). Sponsorship is not required for participation in the
program. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Applicants can indicate on the application which groups they want to
consider them for sponsorship. A list of sponsoring units is included
as
part of the online application. You can also check with your state
association
and/or state chapter to find out if they are participating and how to
apply for
their sponsorship.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>No more than one person from any institution will be selected for
participation in the program. In order to be eligible, applicants must
meet the following criteria:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Be under 35 years of age or be a
library worker of any age with fewer than 5 years experience working in
a library. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Be able to attend both ALA conferences
and work virtually in between each. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Be prepared to commit to serve on
either an ALA, division, chapter or round table committee, taskforce or
workgroup, or in your state or local professional library organization
upon completion of program. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Be an ALA member or join upon
selection if not already a member. <o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p>Program information will be available and updated at: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ala.org/cfapps/emergingleaders/">http://www.ala.org/cfapps/emergingleaders/</a>
