ALA Emerging Leaders Program

Participated in the Emerging Leaders day-long discussion of American Library Association (ALA) governance and effective leadership at the San Diego Convention Center, on January 7, 2011. Presenters included: Peter Bromberg, Assistant Director of the Princeton Public Library; Maureen Sullivan, a current ALA presidential candidate and Simmons College professor; Leslie Burger, a past ALA president; and Jenny Levine, ALA Internet Development Specialist and Strategy Guide.  Burger described the path to leadership in ALA as being a gradual ladder. She began by working with ALA Councils and Awards Committees, eventually becoming president of the ALA Association Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies, then president of the New Jersey Library Association. Burger suggested that socializing at conference parties is aided by an open, friendly stance and a glass of vino.
