[cid:image001.jpg at 01D045F2.CD19D9D0]
The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the 13 future library leaders selected to participate in ILEAD USA - Ohio 2015. Teams, mentors, and instructors from Ohio and national keynote speakers have been organized for the year-long program. ILEAD USA is a multi-state program designed to help library staff understand and respond to user needs through the application of participatory technology tools.  Ohio participants will join others from Wisconsin, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Dakota, New York, Maine, Illinois, and Utah in this national initiative.

Sessions kick off in March and reconvene in June and October at Mohican State Park & Lodge in Perrysville, Ohio. Sessions will be held simultaneously in each of the 10 states, with plenary sessions on streaming video. In-person sessions, virtual meetings and activities will allow participants to hone their skills, experiment with participatory technology tools and continue communications with their ILEAD USA cohorts.

"I am looking forward to meeting and working with the ILEAD USA - Ohio 2015 participants as they come together over a 9-month period to learn about technology, project management, leadership, needs assessment and project implementation strategies," expressed State Librarian Beverly Cain.  "Ohio's experience with the program in 2013 was extremely positive and I believe everyone who was involved including participants, instructors, speakers, and mentors, came away with new knowledge, skills, and perhaps an added zeal for their work in libraries."

Team participants will remain with their group throughout the program and are assigned a mentor. The role of the mentor is to keep participants motivated; offer expertise; and provide guidance and advice. Each team will work on a single group project that will address at least one identified need within their communities of users.

The ILEAD USA - Ohio 2015 program is made possible by a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant to the State Library of Illinois from the Institute of Museum and Library Services<http://www.imls.gov/> (IMLS).  Additional support is provided by the State Library of Ohio and the Kent State University School of Library and Information Science<http://www2.kent.edu/slis/index.cfm>.
