As you all know, Staff Development has been one of the key goals of KPL's Strategic Plan. I am delighted to report that we have made great strides in meeting our Technology Competencies, and many of you have become active learners beyond the core training we have provided. This month we realized another milestone in that we have five (at least) staff members in leadership positions at the state and national levels.
Lin Swartz-Truesdell was tapped to lead the Electronic Resources Workgroup for the Wisconsin Public Library System Redesign initiative.
Joe Davies was appointed to the Wisconsin LSTA Advisory Committee
Rob Nunez serves as Head of ALA's Heads of Library Technology Committee
Pam Penza serves on on YALSA's Teens' Top Ten Committee for the 2015-2017 term (ALA)
Pam Penza serves on on YALSA's Teens' Top Ten Committee for the 2015-2017 term (ALA)
and I have just have been appointed to ALA's Training, Orientation, and Leadership Development Committee.
(If you are active in a state or national committee and I have not recognized you here, please let us all know.)
It is no easy task to fulfill the obligations of our busy jobs here at KPL and also contribute to our profession at the state and national levels. I commend these leaders, and all of you who embrace the learning opportunities that come your way. We never stop learning, no matter who we are or what position we hold, and the more we grow our knowledge and skills, the better service we provide to our community. Thank you for being a community of learners!
