As you may have heard, there will be no joint MASL/MLA Conference this fall. Instead, MLA is helping to sponsor How to Build a Neighborhood/Community One Hello at a Time with Pat Wagner at the October 30th Fall Council Meeting with CMLD, NMLD and SMLD. While there won't be the typical auditorium full of vendors, there will be a great presentation on networking and community building. Pat's presentation applies to public, school and academic libraries. All staff at all levels will come away with some great strategies on building coalitions among institutions, how to reach out to underserved populations, how to participate in reinforcing community values and an exploration of what community means.
Pat Wagner has worked with Pattern Research, Inc. and its predecessor, the Office for Open Network, since 1977. She is an educator, trainer, writer and consultant, focusing on personnel, management, leadership, marketing, career and strategic planning issues. She has special interests in conflict management, project management, community outreach and future studies.
Registration information will be available soon!
