AALL members, is that your final answer?
The Annual Meeting and Conference, "Gateways to Leadership" does not include which of the following programs?
1. The ABA Reaccreditation Visit: Process and Preparation
2. Multitasking: A Pathway to Law Firm Leadership
3. Will I Ever be Able to Retire? Planning and Implementing Toward Retirement
4. Internet Filtering Software in the Workplace
No need to use your life-lines, call a friend, or poll the audience, you'll be a winner no matter what you answer! All of these management-oriented programs, plus many more, will be offered in Philadelphia. To whet your interest, here are brief descriptions of the programs above.
The ABA inspection visit is a cyclical certainty in the life cycle of an academic law library. The ABA Reaccreditation Visit: Process and Preparation (C-4), aimed at all levels of staff, will provide an overview of the process and present strategies for beginning the site visit preparation process. Directors from two libraries who have recently undergone the process will discuss how they prepared documentation and their staff for the visit.
Increasingly, private law librarians are assuming managerial responsibility for departments outside the library. Multitasking: A Pathway to Law Firm Leadership (H-3) will examine multitasking as a career strategy. The program includes a roundtable which will focus on networking with colleagues involved in the same areas of multitasking.
We all have days when the prospect or fantasy of retirement looms large. Will I Ever be Able to Retire? Planning and Implementing Toward Retirement (J-1) focuses on retirement strategies for those of us in mid- or late-career. We'll hear from speakers from both TIAA-CREF and The Motley Fool who will demystify retirement planning.
When we think of Internet filtering, we probably think of public libraries. However, administrators in government libraries are struggling with the issue of providing appropriate Internet access for their employees while restricting non-work-related access. Internet Filtering Software in the Workplace (J-5) will include both speakers who favor filtering software and those that oppose its use. There will also be a discussion of other methods to ensure appropriate Internet use.
No matter if you're a nervous neophyte manager, a jaded management old-timer, a future "manager of the year" or a "maybe some-day" potential manager, you'll be a winner if you attend Gateways to Leadership in Philadelphia from July 15-20. See you there!
