Last week\u2019s post focused on how everyone has the potential to be a leader, in whatever position.<\/p>\n
Doing so can be great not only for individuals, who gain new skills and confidence, but also for the library field as a whole.<\/p>\n
Now is of course a great time to be thinking about who could benefit from this opportunity, with IFLA\u2019s nominations process still open for another week.<\/p>\n
IFLA\u2019s Members, Affiliates and volunteers all have possibilities to put forwards candidates for the over 800 posts available.<\/p>\n
These include IFLA’s Governing Board, new regional committees, and the Professional Sections, Advisory Committees and Review Groups that explore in detail key issues, standards and practices.<\/p>\n
They can often also nominate more than one candidate, giving a more diverse range of people the chance to build their experience and networks.<\/p>\n
So for our 46th<\/sup> 10-Minute International Librarian \u00a0exercise, nominate someone for a position in IFLA.<\/p>\n There\u2019s lots of information available on the IFLA website<\/a>, including descriptions of the positions available, the rules, and the forms that nominees themselves will need to fill in.<\/p>\n All of our Members, Affiliates and volunteers will have received messages from IFLA Headquarters with links to forms to make nominations.<\/p>\n Get in touch with us at elections@ifla.org<\/a> if you have any questions.<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This idea relates to the\u00a0IFLA Strategy<\/a>!<\/strong>\u00a04.2\u00a0<\/strong>Effectively mobilise our human resources and networks.<\/em><\/p>\n As we publish more ideas, you will be able to view these using the\u00a0#10MinuteInternationalLibrarian<\/a>\u00a0tag on this blog, and of course on IFLA\u2019s\u00a0Ideas Store<\/a>!
