[Publib] Applications for PLA Leadership Fellows Columbus University Scholarship Due Friday

[Louisa Worthington]

Deadline approaching for Columbia University Leadership Fellows
Scholarship -- Apply by Friday, Jan. 9

 

Applications to the Leadership Development Program at Columbia
University's Business School are due to the Public Library Association's
(PLA) office on Jan. 9, 2009. PLA members can apply online at
http://pla.org/ala/mgrps/divs/pla/plaawards/Leadership/index.cfm.

 

The Leadership Fellows program offers PLA members who are public library
managers a chance to attend executive leadership training at some of the
best universities in the United States. The programs were reviewed and
chosen by the PLA Leadership Taskforce because they focus on teaching
management concepts not generally learned in a library school setting. 

 

Each executive leadership program varies in length, as well as scope and
focus, and candidates are encouraged to determine which programs are
best suited to their needs before applying. The PLA Leadership Fellows
program will cover the cost of tuition, as well as housing and most
meals. Transportation and any additional meals are the responsibility of
the attendee. 

 

Candidates must be PLA members who belong to management staff in a
public library system, with a minimum of five years experience in a
leadership role. Selected participants will be asked to share their
experience at a PLA program and provide input to the Leadership
Taskforce in an effort to help shape a comprehensive leadership
development program for PLA. More information about the Leadership
Fellows program can be found online at
http://pla.org/ala/mgrps/divs/pla/plaawards/Leadership/index.cfm.

 

PLA is a division of the American Library Association.
