Colleagues, please see the announcement below. Thank you. MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM FOR LIBRARIANS: "TRLN MANAGEMENT ACADEMY: THE BUSINESS OF LIBRARIES" On behalf of the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), I invite you to identify an emerging leader to be an applicant for the TRLN Management Academy, to be held in October 2011. This exciting program prepares current or new mid-level managers in academic libraries to operate with entrepreneurial and business acumen in the management of financial and human resources. Appropriate candidates will be those you identify as high potential/high talent librarians in the early stages of a management career (for example, new department heads, assistant heads, or team leaders). Nominees should already be grounded in the fundamentals of supervision. The program is designed with input from library directors to support talent management and succession planning efforts by addressing gaps in the preparation of librarians for management roles in the current environment. In this unique program, designed in consultation with DeEtta Jones-Young, organizational development consultant, academic faculty from TRLN universities present sessions customized for a library environment on the topics of: *Organizational culture and diversity *Strategy and leading change *Resource planning *Influence and communication *Performance management The faculty for the Academy come from the TRLN institutions' academic faculty and administration. DeEtta Jones-Young serves as the Academy's facilitator. Library administrators/practitioners will serve as panelists to provide a current context for application of the program of study. Tuition for non-members is $1,750 for the five-day intensive seminar - October 24 - 28, 2011. Continental breakfast and lunch are included in the tuition fee. Travel, lodging, and evening subsistence costs are not included. Up to 30 participants will be accepted from academic libraries throughout North America, with approximately one-half of the slots allocated to TRLN member libraries. Candidates will submit applications and selections will be made by a selection committee. Applicants must provide a letter of support from the director along with all application materials by July 22, 2011. Selections will be announced August 5, 2011.
