Leader123
This free webinar sounds great! We are focused on building 15 leadership skills in our Season Three of Linking Our Libraries podcast. Check out this webinar (free!), and also listen to our podcast so you are ready to be a leader for your own library! (This week we are discussing Planning.)

“What does it take to be a good leader? Join the San José State University School of Information as we explore the qualities and skills needed for leadership positions in the information profession during a four-part webcast series on A Day in the Life of a Leader. The webcasts are free to attend and open to everyone.

The first webcast is scheduled for Friday, March 23, 2018, from 10 to 11 a.m. Pacific Time. Guest speakers Dana Vanzanten and Heather Robinson from the St. Thomas Public Library in Ontario, Canada, will share their perspectives on the most important responsibilities and attitudes for leaders, as well as ways students can practice leadership skills while they’re still in grad school, or early in their careers.

Having worked in libraries for more than 20 years, both speakers have first-hand experience in paraprofessional and leadership roles. Currently, Vanzanten is the manager of advocacy and community development, and Robinson is chief executive officer.
