</span>ILEAD Ohio</a> helps develop present and future Ohio library leaders, no matter their position or title, through a team-based, problem-solving project. The goal of ILEAD Ohio is to support participants in addressing professional and/or community needs
through the exploration and application of innovative communication, technology, and collaborative tools and skills.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">In ILEAD Ohio, participants will form a team of four to five and apply as a group. We strongly encourage diversity by selecting applicants from a variety of library
types – public, school, academic and special whenever possible. Applicants are not required to have a master’s degree in library science. Successful applicants will be Ohio library staff members who are innovative and interested in growing their leadership
skills and working with their peers to address a need in the library profession and/or their communities. This means that you will need all four or five of your team members and a project idea before submitting your application. Visit ILEAD Ohio’s page to
download the application.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"> The deadline to submit a team application is February 24 by 11:59 p.m.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
