Good afternoon,
AASL will launch its new Advocacy Institute as a full-day preconference during the
13th AASL National Conference & Exhibition in Reno, Nev., October 25 - 28, 2007.
The AASL Advocacy Institute will be presented in cooperation with the ALA Office
for Library Advocacy.
"Increasing member involvement in local and national advocacy efforts is one of the
major goals outlined by the AASL strategic plan," said Sara Kelly Johns, AASL
president 2007-2008. "It is crucial that all decision-makers understand and
recognize that school library media specialists and school library programs are
essential to teaching and learning. Development of the Advocacy Institute was a
major effort to meet member needs for professional development on advocacy."
