[LM_NET] AASL Advocacy Institute

[Kathy Agarwal <kagarwal@ALA.ORG>]

Good afternoon,

AASL will launch its new Advocacy Institute as a full-day preconference during the 
13th AASL National Conference & Exhibition in Reno, Nev., October 25 - 28, 2007. 
The AASL Advocacy Institute will be presented in cooperation with the ALA Office 
for Library Advocacy.

"Increasing member involvement in local and national advocacy efforts is one of the 
major goals outlined by the AASL strategic plan," said Sara Kelly Johns, AASL 
president 2007-2008. "It is crucial that all decision-makers understand and 
recognize that school library media specialists and school library programs are 
essential to teaching and learning. Development of the Advocacy Institute was a 
major effort to meet member needs for professional development on advocacy."
