Cynthia Jordan of University of North Florida and a NEFLIN Board Member has been accepted into the Peabody Professional Institute for Academic Library Leadership to be held at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College in July 2008. Participation in Peabody Professional Institutes is competitive and is determined through a review process. The Institute focuses on the higher education context in which libraries exist. The institute explores new roles for libraries that may emerge from that context to support the goals and priorities of the parent institution. Participants identify ways to position their libraries to be agents for change within their institutions, in order to strengthen support for the library’s services and resources. The institute is highly participative and tailored to the interests of those selected as summer fellows. Cynthia was a member of the first Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute in 2004/2005.
Kathy Graw, Youth Services Coordinator at Jacksonville Public Library has completed the Urban Libraries Council Executive Leadership Institute. Selection for the ULC Institute was competitive and required attendance at several sessions in Baltimore and completion of a project. Kathy's sponsor was Carolyn Sheehee Williams, Deputy Director at JPL and her project was on Early Childhood Literacy.
