1. Application Letter

In two pages, tell us about yourself by addressing these questions:

• 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. One should be from a senior leader in your organization (or, a senior leader in an information sector organization), and one from the individual to whom you report. These letters should address: 

​

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

• Their understanding that LLEAD will be one of your primary priorities for the duration of the program 

• Their commitment to coaching you through your development plan as the LLEAD program progresses

• 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

Simply provide us a summary of your work experience and career journey to this point - it does not need to be fancy.
