MILE 2009: Discover Your Inner Leader
December 16, 2008 04:16 PM | GeneralRachel Gray - Information Services Librarian
I had the opportunity to attend the second MLA Institute for Leadership Excellence (MILE) in Spring 2007. This bi-annual conference brings together people in Minnesota libraries who are interested in becoming leaders in our state library community. I learned a lot about myself as a leader through a variety of speakers and also with a mentorship with a more experienced librarian. Since MILE 2007, I have learned a lot about opportunities I have in the MLA with helping plan this year's conference and in helping out with other behind-the-scenes jobs.
I am pleased to announce that the MILE Institute is being offered for the third time next spring from April 28-May 1, 2009. I am on the planning committee for MILE 2009, and would like to extend a personal invitation to all members of MLA interested in becoming a leader and work in a library to join us - no matter your current position in the library world, or the years of experience you may have. More information can be found on the MLA website, including the application form. Applications are due on January 15, 2009 - the deadline has been extended from the December 15 date on the brochure.
