MLA Workshop - Ask the Professionals: Mid-Management Success - Friday, March 12, 2010 - Delta Township District Library, Lansing
A panel of professional librarian managers will answer audience questions during a portion of the workshop. We recognize that some questions regarding workplace situations may be sensitive and workshop participants may not want to publicly describe a situation that would place a co-worker in a negative light. So, we encourage you to use this wiki to submit questions anonymously, and the planning committee will pass them along to the panelists on the morning of the workshop.
Please use this page to submit questions for our Panel Discussion. Be sure to register for this MLA workshop - cost is just $85 for MLA members. This includes access to 7 professional Michigan managers - and lunch, too! http://www.mla.lib.mi.us/node/1126
