These programs support and implement new ideas and put LYRASIS members at the forefront of collaboration. The Leaders Circle is a membership program that brings together a diverse group of knowledgeable professionals to discuss, design and foster real-world solutions to challenges within the community. The Leaders Forums are regional in-person meetings, 16 so far, where thought leaders and practitioners help identify the needs, challenges and opportunities faced by knowledge professionals on a daily basis. The Catalyst Fund grew out of the Leaders Circle and Leaders Forums as a way to actively advance new ideas and re-invest in our members. LYRASIS began accepting applications to the Catalyst Fund in January 2017. Applicants could choose to apply for funding for a project they would manage locally, or suggest an idea that, if selected, would be implemented by LYRASIS with the applicant's assistance. All applications were reviewed by experts in the field and then voted on by participants in the LYRASIS Leaders Circle. Recipients will report on progress and findings at the 2017 LYRASIS Member Summit. This is the first year of the LYRASIS Catalyst Fund. The second round of applications and projects will begin after the 2017 LYRASIS Member Summit, October 11-12 in Philadelphia, PA. Look for details soon on the Member Summit!
