There's Still Time to Apply for the 2010 Class of ALA Emerging Leaders
Program - Deadline July 31, 2009

The American Library Association (ALA) is now accepting applications for
the 2010 class of Emerging Leaders.  Applications can be found at
http://www.ala.org/cfapps/emergingleaders/. The deadline to apply is
July 31, 2009.

The program is designed to enable approximately 100 library workers to
get on the fast track to ALA and professional leadership.  Participants
are given the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, network with
peers and get an inside look into the ALA structure and activities.

For the first time since its establishment, the Emerging Leaders program
will accept non-MLS library workers.  Library support staff personnel
are encouraged to apply to the program and will have an opportunity to
be considered for sponsorship through the ALA Library Support Staff
Interests Round Table.

An ALA division, round table, ethnic affiliate, state chapter or school
library media affiliate will sponsor approximately one-third of the
selected applicants.  Each sponsor will contribute $1,000 toward
expenses ($500 for each conference).  Sponsorship is not required for
participation in the program.  

Applicants can indicate on the application which groups they want to
consider them for sponsorship.  A list of sponsoring units is included
as part of the online application. You can also check with your state
association and/or state chapter to find out if they are participating
and how to apply for their sponsorship.

No more than one person from any institution will be selected for
participation in the program.  In order to be eligible, applicants must
meet the following criteria:

*	Be under 35 years of age or be a library worker of any age with
fewer than 5 years experience working in a library. 
*	Be able to attend both ALA conferences and work virtually in
between each. 
*	Be prepared to commit to serve on either an ALA, division,
chapter or round table committee, taskforce or workgroup, or in your
state or local professional library organization upon completion of
program. 
*	Be an ALA member or join upon selection if not already a member.


Program information will be available and updated at:
http://www.ala.org/cfapps/emergingleaders/.  For questions or more
information regarding the program, contact Beatrice Calvin at
bcalvin at ala.org.
