Are you new to the profession (less than five years)? Will your school support your 
going to both Midwinter and ALA Annual conferences if you receive prestigious and 
intense leadership training that will transform your professional life? 

Apply NOW to be an Emerging Leader and check off sponsorship by AASL on the 
application. AASL will sponsor two people but you have to apply to get the 
sponsorship! (There are other organizations listed on the application form who are 
sponsoring people also and you can self-sponsor as well.)

  Emerging Leaders began in 2007 as an initiative of ALA President Leslie Burger. 
This year, the program provided 116 new librarians with training and projects to 
jump-start their leadership in ALA and the profession. Many new leaders put their 
leadership skills to use by accepting appointments on ALA and AASL
  committees.
  In 2008, the program will continue with a cohort of 120 new Emerging Leaders. 
AASL sponsored two Emerging Leaders this year and will sponsor two in 2008. Each 
sponsored Emerging Leader will receive up to $1000 for expenses ($500 for each ALA 
conference). For more information or to apply, please visit the Emerging Leaders 
wiki at
 http://wikis.ala.org/emergingleaders/index.php/Main_Page 
   The application is due on August 15th. PLease apply!
