Notes from the Emerging Leaders Salon, July 11, 2009, Chicago Illinois.

At our Salon in Denver in January 2009, the Emerging Leaders brainstormed answers to the question, "Brainstorm: If ALA Could be Anything, What Would it Be?" The results were shared with all three EL classes who were also surveyed and asked for additional items and to establish priorities for the list.

At our July 2009 Salon, participants were invited to identify specific actions steps that they could take, alone or in partnership with others, and develop action plans to move forward on these priorities.

Please use this space to:

  • Share information regarding the specific action step you have committed to
  • Share what you have done, what's worked, what hasn't, etc.
    • Look for possible partnerships with other Emerging Leaders. To this end it is helpful for you to identify yourself with contact information (You can link to your profile on the EL wiki.)

As you add your information to the wiki, consider posting to the EL listserv and/or Facebook page to generate attention, energy, and possibly inspire others to join in partnership. Feel free to edit this wiki, or modify this process, in any way that you think will increase the likelihood of success!


The Priorities and Related Action Steps

More transparency about the ALA structure

  • Learn more about ALA Council; Leigh Anne Vrabel

I've heard council both praised and scorned, but I don't have enough information about it yet to make an informed decision. Specific actions I intend to take include:

--deliberately making room in my midwinter 2010 schedule to attend council meetings --contacting and/or interviewing current and past councilors to get input/perspective --contacting and/or interviewing vocal council critics to suss out specific objections --reading council documents posted on ALA Connect --serving as an impartial embedded reporter by tweeting, etc. from council meetings

Anyone willing to support this endeavor by facilitating introductions or making suggestions will be warmly thanked (over coffee, if you like).
