Leadership is learned not innate to some special individuals. Increase your leadership skills in a supportive environment, gain a network of fellow leaders from throughout the state. Access mentors who will help guide you in your growth. In response to the
expressed desires of library workers throughout Oregon, we will be learning leadership skills through an EDI lens. We are thrilled to have Christina Fuller-Gregory (she/her/hers) a librarian, and experienced Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice
practitioner as the facilitator. She was named one of 2021 Library Journal's Movers and Shakers<<a href="https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/christina-fuller-gregory-movers-shakers-2021-advocates">https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/christina-fuller-gregory-movers-shakers-2021-advocates</a>><br>
