91´«Ã½

CHICAGO - The 91´«Ã½’s (91´«Ã½) 2010 class of Emerging Leaders (EL) will showcase their final projects at a poster session and reception on Friday, June 25 during the 91´«Ã½ Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. The event will take place from 3-5 p.m. at the Washington Convention Center – Rm 201. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The poster session will conclude the activities for this class of Emerging Leaders. Since the 91´«Ã½ Midwinter Meeting, the groups have been working virtually on projects related to 91´«Ã½ or a professional concern. These groups have been supported by 91´«Ã½ staff and member mentors from the profession. The poster session will allow each group to showcase its creative and innovative solutions for their projects.

Participants in the EL ’10 class come from all across the United States and represent a variety of types of libraries. An 91´«Ã½ division, round table, chapter or an 91´«Ã½ affiliate organization sponsored approximately one-third of the participating Emerging Leaders.
