What if LATI were set up like Leadership Maryland?

A series of bi-monthly overnight meetings held throughout the state. Starting in September and ending in April, with the Showcase being Track of LATI presentations at the annual MLA Conference.

Day 1 could start at 2 PM and include the instructional portion (reference material review or policy review) (that way attendees could arrive before lunch and meet in small groups before class convened)

Day 2 could be a speaker or more instruction over at 1pm
Instructors and content can come from or be facilitated by the 3 Jennifer’s and the individual central Maryland library system staff development personnel.

Each LATI event should be assigned a CEU Value and after getting so many CEUs the person is a LA. If you attend all the events in the (it emphasizes the need to track and accumulate CEUs, for their post-LATI life)



Bi-monthly-events could include working a shift on AskUsNow, Night Owl, SLRC Maryland Room Ref desk.

Between bi-monthly events, LATI Participants would expand their horizon locally by attending a Local Library Board meeting, a Local School Board meeting and County Commissioners meeting.

Perhaps a speaker at the immediate following bi-monthly events could be someone from MANO talking about Board excellence
