The past twelve months were filled with a myriad of activities for LMD. From a successful annual conference in Philadelphia with very popular programs to virtual professional development opportunities in 2011 our division leadership team is working to bring the content requested by our membership. The programming for Chicago is in place with many activities planned for the annual conference in 2012. These are some of the highlights:
Two of our sessions at annual conference are designated as Spotlight Sessions:
1. Meaningful Measures: How Do Buyers and Sellers Show ROI?
2. Reinventing Library Skills
The range of other conference sessions is diverse from contract negotiation to marketing plus an architectural boat tour of Chicago and an open house. There is something for everyone so make your plans soon to attend the SLA Annual Conference in 2012! Our elections were held and new officers will be joining the leadership team next year.
We are on board with virtual professional development and hosted sessions in 2011 featuring Cindy Hill on Sept 22 and Matt Reis on Managing Conflicts on Oct 20.
Our new year starts off right with a virtual session on Jan. 12, 2012 with Bethan Ruddock on Alternative Careers. Wishing you a joyous holiday season!
