Brief description of AALL 2000 Annual Meeting Program - "Gateways to
Leadership"
"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other" - John F.
Kennedy
The 2000 Annual Meeting Program Selection Committee hopes that "Gateways
to Leadership" will encourage law librarians and legal information
workers to exercise a dynamic leadership role in their respective
organizations and in the legal industry at large. The Committee chose
this theme for several reasons. By the time the 2000 Annual Meeting and
Conference takes place in Philadelphia we will have crossed the
frontier, or passed through the gateway to a new millennium. The
predicted catastrophes may or may not have occurred and it will be time
to move on and face whatever new realities await us. Time to learn and
lead!
So, you're asking: "What exactly is leadership and how does it apply to
me and the 2000 Annual Meeting?" Well, there are many ways to lead; by
demonstrating, by influencing, by commanding, by initiating, by
teaching, to name just a few ! You most likely already lead in some
way, you may just not realize it. Law librarians and others who work
with legal information have an unprecedented opportunity to shape the
path for our profession and those we serve. Our goal for the 2000
Annual Meeting and Conference is to put together a selection of programs
which will assist you in identifying and developing your many leadership
skills and qualities. Through diverse and creative programs we will
open gateways to leadership in management, technology, and resource
identification and allocation.
AMPSC invites you to participate in this process by developing and
proposing meaningful and rewarding programs for the 2000 Annual
Meeting. Final touches are being made to the program and workshop
proposal forms and to the _Program Planner's Handbook_. Be ready with
your program ideas when the forms and Handbook are made available very
shortly!
