2012-2013 MLA Rising Stars

Abstract

The MLA Rising Star program has been developed by the MLA Emerging Leaders Task Force for MLA members who are interested in attaining leadership roles in MLA but who have not yet become active at a national level. The one-year leadership development program matches each Rising Star with a mentor in a curriculum that includes: learning how MLA succeeds through the volunteer efforts of its members; the roles of the MLA Board and staff; and project management skills applied to an actual MLA project. This poster gives a brief overview of the projects and goals of the five members of the 2012-2013 Rising Stars cohort.
