Congratulations to Shannon Brennan, Children’s Librarian at the Bemis Public Library, and a valued member of the ILCE-IG steering committee for being selected to the 2022 CAL Leadership Institute (CALLI).

The goals of the CAL Leadership Institute are to develop leaders within CAL and the Colorado library community by:

1. Allowing an exploration and understanding of personal leadership styles.
2. Developing key relationships among participants, presenters, and the larger library community through inquiry (listening and understanding others), advocacy (learning about issues and taking a stand), and networking (building collaborative networks and creating coalitions for change).
3. Providing the necessary professional development opportunities to grow leaders at all levels of library organizations.

Shannon writes, “Being on the steering committee for ILCE is very helpful so I’m glad to be a part of the group!”
