Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well and in good spirits. This is a reminder that applications are now being accepted for the ARL Leadership Fellows Program 2021-2022.<https://www.arl.org/category/arl-academy/arl-leadership-fellows-program/> Applications are due by close of business on Friday, July 2, 2021. Application instructions for the 2021-2022 cohort<https://www.arl.org/how-to-apply-to-the-arl-leadership-fellows-program-cohort-2021-2022/> are available, as well as selection criteria by which applicants will be evaluated<https://www.arl.org/overview-and-criteria-for-assessing-arl-leadership-fellows-program-applicants/>. ARL expects to complete the selection process for the 2021-2022 cohort no later than August 23. The cohort will hold its introductory meeting in October 2021, and will begin the program with its first monthly meeting in January 2022. ARL does expect to provide financial assistance for some Fellows to defray program tuition costs and (if required) travel costs. Additional application materials are not required for financial assistance, and Fellows will be considered for financial assistance as part of the selection process.
