ALA’s Essentials of Chapter Leadership

March 15-17, 2021

In October of last year, we asked for feedback from Chapter Presidents regarding chapter leader training opportunities in 2021 through a brief survey. Survey questions focused on the likelihood of the chapter sending representatives to the Chapter Leadership Institute (to be held in-person July 16–17 in St. Louis, MO) and gauged the chapter’s interest in participating in an additional virtual training session that would focus on the fundamentals of chapter management. Based on the survey results, the overwhelming majority indicated an interest in participating in CLI or virtual training, with over half of ALA chapters expressing interest in attending both. With that in mind, we have created ALA’s Essentials of Chapter Leadership.

OVERVIEW
ALA's Essentials of Chapter Leadership is a new three-day virtual training event intended to provide incoming chapter leaders with basic instruction on chapter management, as well as information on the importance of adhering to essential financial and legal responsibilities. 

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Essentials of Chapter Leadership will take place Monday, March 15, through Wednesday, March 17. Two sessions will be held each day, the first at 10 a.m. Central and the second at 2 p.m. Central. 

REGISTRATION DETAILS
The cost to participate in this virtual event is $499 per chapter. This registration fee grants unlimited access to all members of your chapter interested in attending. Participating chapters will be provided with a unique promo code and registration link to distribute among their members so that they may register themselves for no additional cost. 

Individual registration is required to receive access information for the event. Individual attendees from your chapter must register themselves by 5 p.m. Central on Thursday, March 11. Individuals who do not register themselves by the deadline will be unable to access the platform.
