The Team

Emerging Leader Participants

Team Mentor

Mary Pergander I am a public library director. My first public library was underfunded, and we had to raise money to do routine projects like update technology. I have also successfully obtained grants. In my former life, I was heavily involved in fund-raising. I am here to support you in any way I can, and I am certain I will learn, too! What ideas have you had so far, and what progress is being made? How did your time together at ALA go?
