We’re looking for library staff who are ready to rise to the challenge! The Wisconsin Library Association Annual Conference Programming Committee seeks program proposals for the next conference to be held November 1-4, 2022 at the Grand Geneva Hotel in Lake Geneva.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Rising to the Challenge'' and we would like you to share your stories of how you’ve overcome obstacles, collaborated with your communities and how you’ve not just survived but thrived despite the challenges of the past few years and how you’re preparing for future challenges. We’d also like to continue the important conversations around diversity and inclusivity, staffing, fundraising, advocacy and cultivating connections. We’d like you to consider the big picture but also encourage you to share your practical and effective strategies and inspiring projects from your corner of the library world.
Need some inspiration? Below are a few suggestions and we are especially interested in any of these topics aimed at trustees/friends or academic audiences:
Intellectual freedom
Navigating a pandemic and a post-pandemic world
Data and analytics
Equity, diversity, and inclusion
Managing e-resources
Funding and support
Digitization
Staff training
Self-care and healthy boundaries
Privacy
Accessing government data
Collaboration
Community outreach
Customer service
Navigating stakeholder relationships
Future casting post-pandemic library services
Leadership pathways and career growth
Proposals for presentations, panels, and workshops are welcome. Sessions will run 45 minutes in length (with a limited number of 90 minutes sessions available) and with a maximum of four presenters.
Help us shape this year’s conference by submitting your proposal via this link by Monday, May 9, 2022.
We look forward to your fantastic proposals!
Sincerely,
The WLA Conference Program Committee
