When people talk about "library leadership," they are often referring to leadership by library management, or leadership by people with MLS/MLIS/MSLIS degrees. This issue will be inclusive of these voices, but I don't want it to be limited to them. Because

Instead, I want to hear from anyone who has actively made substantive change within their organization. I want this issue to answer the musical question:

Association will be convening in Pendleton. I am a member of the inaugural LIOLA cohort, so I can say with authority that this year's roster is a who's-who of up-and-coming library leaders. In order to give the voices and ideas of these nascent leaders a dedicated
forum, to promote the efforts of the OLA Leadership Committee, and to promote future Leadership Institutes,
