On Wednesday, May 22nd, the Amigos Association Management Department (AMS) debuted its Library Association Leaders Learn & Share series, with the first session, “The Future is Now: Association Succession Planning,” moderated by Missouri Library Association Past President Otter Bowman. Nine association leaders representing five organizations attended the event. They discussed various topics such as growing future association leaders, passing along institutional knowledge, and dealing with burnout at the association board level.
Designed to give client association leaders an opportunity to come together to learn from each other, the online event series will continue to address relevant topics in library association leadership.
This event series is accessible to association veterans and those just starting their roles as leaders within their organizations. It offers association client leaders a chance to gain valuable insight and make connections to enhance their understanding and knowledge of the library association landscape.
The AMS department is proud of the success of its first Learn & Share session and is planning the next event in this exciting series!
