 have contracted with ALA to provide our members with access to their live 
 webinars.  These webinars are free to MLS members who register through our 
 calendar.  Please do not register directly with ALA. Members who register 
 directly with ALA are responsible for paying their registration fee.

 \n\n\nDescription\n\nInterim leadership is increasing throughout 
 librarianship. The library field\, in general\, does not adequately 
 undertake succession planning or develop leadership skills. These webinars 
 will introduce these subjects and help establish what is currently known 
 about them.\n\nThis webinar will explore ways to prepare for\, develop 
 skills in\, and maximize the interim leadership experience so that taking 
 on an interim leadership role does not have to seem so precarious and may 
 in fact open a world of possibilities. This webinar will review current 
 knowledge on this topic and present the experience of two academic 
 librarians who accepted interim leadership roles.\n\nLearning 
 Outcomes\n\n\n\nAt the end of this webinar\, attendees will be able to do 
 the following in order to consider\, prepare\, and inform professional 
 practice for interim library leadership roles:\n\n\n	Describe the common 
 factors that create interim leadership roles in libraries\;\n	Determine 
 recommendations and best practices in taking on an interim leadership 
 role\; and\n	Identify basic knowledge\, skills\, and abilities to prepare 
 for\, develop leadership skills\, and maximize the experience of serving in 
 an interim library leadership role.\n\n\nWho Should Attend: \n\nLibrarians 
 and library professionals in all settings at mid-career level as interim 
 leadership opportunities are more likely to be presented at mid-career. 
 This is increasingly happening because of retirements and turnover in the 
 library profession.\n\nPresenters\n\nAmy Kornblau\, MLS\, Associate Dean of 
 University Libraries\, has 28 years of experience in university libraries. 
 In addition to her MLS\, she earned an Executive Certificate in Project 
 Management through the College of Business Executive Education and 
 completed the 2023 Appreciative Administration Course through The Office of 
 Appreciative Education at Florida Atlantic University. During her 25-year 
 tenure at FAU\, she has served as the Social Sciences Reference Librarian\, 
 Systems (IT) Librarian\, Systems Department Head\, and has held three 
 Assistant Dean positions. She is currently serving as the Associate Dean of 
 University Libraries following the completion of her 18 months service to 
 the FAU Libraries and the University as Interim Dean\, University 
 Libraries.\n\nKristy Padron\, MLIS\, Librarian / Professor I\, has 20 years 
 of experience in college and university libraries. Before taking on a 
 year-long term as an interim assistant dean\, she served as research and 
 information services librarian and coordinated instruction and scholarly 
 communication services. To continue her interest in organizational behavior 
 and management\, Ms. Padron is currently pursuing coursework for a Master 
 in Public Administration at Florida Atlantic University and is continuing
