Deadline: LLAMA New Professionals Community of Practice Buddy Program

Are you a new ALA Midwinter attendee and would like tips on how to get the most out of your conference experience?
Are you an experienced ALA Midwinter attendee and willing to share your experience and advice?
The LLAMA New Professionals Community of Practice Buddy Program is here to pair Learning Buddies with Experienced Buddies in order to get the most out of your conference experience and learn about LLAMA (the Library Leadership and Management Association) in the process.
Learning/New means whatever it means to you; you can be starting a new job or organization, trying out a different area of librarianship, or just brand new to it all! And if you’re at all experienced attending and being actively engaged in ALA Midwinter, we’d love to hear from you to help others navigate the conference.
Your commitment is to meet at least once with your Buddy at the ALA conference. The benefit of meeting a new colleague, helping someone navigate the ALA exhibit hall or find the best sessions is priceless.
If you are interested in being a Learning Buddy, fill out this form: http://bit.ly/alamw19BPLearning
If you are interested in being an Experienced Buddy, fill out this form: http://bit.ly/alamw19BPExperienced
We will make every effort to match Buddies with common interests and availability. Matching will begin after December 17, 2018. Please sign up today!
If you have any questions, please contact a member of the LLAMA New Professional Buddy Program Committee: npsbuddy [at] gmail.com
We look forward to your participation in the Buddy Program!
