 Details

1. Application Letter

In two pages, tell us about yourself:

 

  • Why are you interested in LLEAD?

  • What are some key challenges confronting the library and information sector (e.g., academic, public, government, information services, or corporate libraries?

  • What skills and approaches do you hope to develop? 

  • How will your current strengths, experience, and perspectives contribute to your LLEAD colleagues' experiences?

2. Two Letters of Support

Gather two reference letters supporting your application:

  1. One should be from a senior leader in your organization (or, a senior leader in an information sector organization), and

  2. One from the individual to whom you report.

 

These letters should address: 

  • The organization's willingness to cover the tuition, transportation costs and incidental expenses

  • Their understanding that LLEAD will be a priority for you on Fridays during the program and for the Intensive

  • Their commitment to:

    • participate in the coaching support LLEAD provides them

    • work with you to establish your learning goals and to coach you as the LLEAD program progresses and as you work on your project

  • Your readiness and potential to continue learning, to stretch your abilities, and to manage future strategic functions as a transformational leader.

3. Your Resume or Curriculum Vitae

A summary of your work experience and career journey to this point - it does not need to be fancy.

4. Your Fellowship or Bursary Application (optional)

We are pleased to offer financial support for eligible applicants. Check out the Financial Support page for eligibility and application requirements.
