[ILL-L] ALA Emerging Leaders Program

[Margaret Ellingson]

Joseph, et al., -- The short answer is I don't know, for sure.  The 
eligibility statement seems to imply that an MLS is required but a 
participant in last year's program indicated that there were a few 
participants enrolled in library school.  For a definitive answer, I 
suggest you contact Connie Paul, Executive Director, Central Jersey 
Regional Library Cooperative at emergingleaders at princetonlibrary.org.  
She's listed on the Emerging Leaders wiki as the contact for further 
information.  Good luck! -- Margaret
