MAC Members Among Latest Round of NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows

Congratulations to Shannon Jones and Doug Varner, who are among the fellows selected for the NLM/AAHSL Leadership Program.

 Participants in Leadership Fellows Program Announced

The fellows and mentors selected for the 2011-2012 class of the leadership program jointly sponsored by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) have been announced. This is the tenth year of the program.

The NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program prepares emerging leaders for director positions in academic health sciences libraries. Selection is recognition of a substantial record of accomplishment and demonstrable potential. The program provides a combination of in-person and virtual learning experiences for fellows and offers the opportunity to work collaboratively with the class of participants. Fellows are paired with mentors who are academic health sciences library directors and will visit the libraries of their mentors.
