ARLIS/NA 46th Annual Conference

How do assumptions, mental models, and paradigms held by the leadership and profession affect how ARLIS/NA leadership views the Society and its role in the field? What are some of the most critical uncertainties facing our profession? At this year’s Leadership Institute, participants will examine key mental models, explore a range of alternative future scenarios that might unfold for ARLIS/NA and the profession, develop strategies for operating strategically within each scenario, and identify implications for future Executive Board and committee work. This workshop will provide opportunities for ARLIS/NA leadership to hone their strategic and generative analysis and decision-making skills, thereby enhancing Board and committee capacity to govern effectively in the future.


The workshop will be facilitated by Frank Martinelli, President of the Center for Public Skills Training. Mr. Martinelli has over 35 years of work, training, and consulting experience and specializes in strategic planning, governing board development, and community partnership and alliance building.


The workshop is by invitation-only.
