2023 ALISE Leadership Academy

LIS LEADERSHIP DURING TURBULENT TIMES

The 2023 ALISE Leadership Academy will be held Friday, October 13th, following the annual conference in Milwaukee.  As we continue to work to engage with more of our membership around the globe, this all day academy will be offered online via Zoom.  Our theme is "LIS Leadership in Turbulent Times", a recognition of the turbulent and lingering impacts of COVID-19, in addition to the cultural and political climates in which many of us teach and engage in research.  Such is the environment our graduates must navigate and we must be prepared to aid them.  We are working to assemble two different panels and two keynote speakers.  Potential topics include "Leadership in the Current Climate", a practitioner panel that focuses on the needed/expected skills of new graduates, and "Navigating the Landscape of Higher Education".  We are currently soliciting members who would be interested in participating on a panel.  Come join us for some thought provoking conversation. 

This Leadership Academy has an Exclusive Sponsorship Opportunity!

 In 2019, ALISE initiated the Leadership Academy to create communities within library and information science (LIS) for the exploration of leadership roles as chairs, directors, and deans. We aim to build interest in leadership and to build the confidence of prospective leaders. The Academy also provides prior attendees a forum to reconvene, to reflect on their learnings from the past year, and to gain new insights to deploy in the future.

Through the work of its Programming Committee, ALISE has redesigned it's Leadership Academy. This will feature a one-day virtual workshop following the ALISE Annual Conference.
