AALL Needs You!
Legislative Advocacy Training
Please join the Washington Affairs Office and the Government Relations
Committee on Saturday, July 14, 2007 in New Orleans to learn how to
become an effective advocate for libraries and librarianship. Advocacy
is one of the three pillars of the AALL Strategic Directions, and this
is the year to learn how to become an effective advocate. There are so
many great things about this training we can't list them all!
*Learn excellent communications skills
*Get energized by the Washington Affairs Office contagious
enthusiasm for information policy
*Meet smart and interesting colleagues
*Create a better world
*Use these skills on your stake holders, your boss and your
colleagues to ask for what you really want!
There is no cost for this important training session, but please
register by June 15 by contacting Elizabeth LeDoux,
ebl22@law.georgetown.com. Space is limited, so register today! We have
two exciting sessions, a morning session, from 8:30 to Noon, and an
afternoon session for NEWER LAW LIBRARIANS (5 years or less in law
librarianship), from 2:00 - 4:30.
All politics are local, and this is a great opportunity to learn more
about AALL's legislative agenda and how YOU can help us promote our
positions in crucial policy and legislative matters. It is also a great
opportunity to network with other librarians, learn effective advocacy
skills and make a real impact on the future of our profession.
Join us in July for a day that will change your life!
