Cultivating Library Leaders of the Future
Special thanks to George Needham for personal support of PNLA Leads 2006

"I support leadership institutes because I think it's vital for those of us who have had good careers in librarianship to help nurture and develop the next generation of leaders. Library schools and on-the-job training can only go so far; potential leaders need time out of their regular worlds for self-discovery and the opportunity to network with their peers. And these institutes also give the mentors and organizers a chance to re-charge their "leadership batteries" too! "
