From Carolyn Lipscombe:

Congratulations to Bart Ragon, who is among the fellows selected for the NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program. Dottie Spencer will serve as a mentor in the cohort.

The fellows and mentors selected for the 2009-2010 class of the leadership program jointly sponsored by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) have be en announced.

The NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program is focused on preparing emerging leaders for director positions in academic health sciences libraries. Selection as a fellow 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.
