The Iowa Library Association (ILA) is now accepting applications for the 2008 Leadership Institute. The institute will be held at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, July 22-25, 2008. The registration fee is $200 and it includes most meals and lodging. This is a wonderful opportunity to hone your leadership skills. Participants will assess their personal leadership style and develop the skills to use them for effective decision making, learn how to lead from any position in their organization, participate in dialog about possible obstacles and brainstorm practical alternatives.

Twenty-five Iowa library employees will be selected to work with Maureen Sullivan, who has more than twenty years of experience as a consultant on organizational development and work redesign, strategic planning, leadership, managing change and establishing learning programs.
