Continuing Education for Today's ProfessionalsProviding quality continuing education and training for library leadership and decision making is a priority of the Library Administration and Management Association (LAMA), a division of the American Library Association. From building design to diversity training to libraries in the digital age, LAMA offers stimulating, informative regional institutes on topics of current importance to the library profession. Presented by knowledgeable and experienced professionals, these one-day workshops can be tailored to address local needs and will benefit managers, administrators, staff, and trustees, including those who may not be able to travel to national conferences and seminars. LAMA Regional Institutes have been featured at state and regional annual conferences, at universities and public libraries, and as in-house training in organizations from Alaska to Florida. Attendees are enthusiastic about the quality and content of LAMA Regional Institutes, calling them "the realistic approach to leadership in today's environment" and "relevant and practical." A typical evaluation reads, "The instructor provided information that can be adapted in my workplace. I enjoyed the opportunity to interact with colleagues on an intellectual, thought-provoking topic." List of LAMA Regional Institutes
