[Libs-Or] Free PLA Series: Strong Together

[HANNING Darci C * SLO]

Greetings! Please see the free offerings below - if you're interested, register SOON as many sessions (not listed below) are already full.

Stronger Together: Creating Space for Mutual Support
The PLA Leadership Development Committee has embraced this charge. Starting in Fall 2023, we are pleased to offer a series of online networking conversations, "Stronger Together: Creating Space for Mutual Support," hosted by members of the PLA Leadership Development Committee.
Library leaders at all levels are facing unprecedented challenges related to a variety of topics: intellectual freedom; equity, diversity, and inclusion; staffing challenges; community engagement; and, let's face it, sometimes just maintaining your own motivation in a post-pandemic environment. People need time and space to refresh, energize, practice self-care, and feel seen and supported by their colleagues. Join these free, facilitated conversation to share and connect with colleagues in small online groups.

Below are the "Stronger Together: Creating Space for Mutual Support" topics and dates, you may register for as many sessions as you'd like. Registration is free. Click a date/time below to register for that conversation.
