Seeking Mentors for Leadership Institute

Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute mentors work one-on-one with their mentees to identify their professional development goals; provide guidance on the design, implementation, and evaluation of a library leadership project; and master the Institute’s leadership competencies.

If you are interested in serving as a mentor, please submit a letter of interest that includes the following:

1) Contact information – name, title, organization, telephone number, e-mail address

2) Brief outline of your area of expertise based on the Institute’s competencies

3) Reason(s) you would like to mentor a Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute participant

We recommend that your letter be no longer than two pages. The letter will be available for program participants to review. It should provide basic information to help them decide whether they would like to explore the opportunity of forming a mentoring relationship with you based on their professional development needs.

Please submit your letter of interest to Jill Canono at jbcanono@dos.state.fl.us by August 28.

For additional information, please feel free to contact Dr. Canono by e-mail or telephone at 850.245.6648.
