Submit a Proposal for the ALD/ACRL-WA & ACRL-OR Conference this October!

Present with us on Friday, October 17 at Lower Columbia College. This year's theme, Leading from Our Values, will dive into what it means to lead from intention, authenticity, and purpose. Our committee selected the theme to challenge us to consider how values—both organizational and personal—inform how we teach, research, collaborate, advocate, and lead, from every role in an academic library and every stage of a career.

✏️This committee welcomes proposals on any topic relevant to academic libraries that incorporate this theme through case studies and other forms, particularly proposals that are rooted in practical, daily workplace experiences.

💻The conference is accepting both in person sessions and pre-recorded, asynchronous sessions.

Proposals are due July 15. You may view more information and submit a proposal here. https://forms.gle/XTwSqtRPszud9LAL7
