To pay with credit card, go to the website and click on the PayPal button: http://bit.ly/1x897zz Making It Happen Where You Are Keynote speaker: JP Porcaro Leadership isn’t about a job title. It’s about attitude, character, and perspective. Libraries are places to foster community success, and that success starts with us. We all have the capacity to bring change to our personal and professional lives and our social circles by using techniques that effective leaders use. Join JP Porcaro in this presentation on bringing a Make It Happen attitude to our clients, coworkers, and personal friends through emotional intelligence. Bio: JP Porcaro is Head Librarian for Acquisitions and Technological Discovery at the New Jersey City University Guarini Library, and is a candidate for the 2016-17 presidency of the American Library Association. JP was the organizer and founding president of the ALA Games & Gaming Round Table (GameRT) and the ALA Comic Book & Graphic Novel Member Interest group. JP was an ALA Emerging Leader in 2010 and was named a Library Journal Mover & Shaker in 2012. He is a founding member of the ALA Think Tank, social media’s largest space for librarians. JP is also a member of the Advisory Board of the EveryLibrary political action committee, the Social Organizer for Urban Librarians Unite, and an administrator for the Librarian Wardrobe blog. Learn more about JP at his website: http://jpporcaro.com> This year's Michigan Chapter holiday event is generously sponsored by Frost & Sullivan and Automotive World. No-Show Policy: In December 2007, the SLA Michigan Chapter Board instituted a no-show policy. If an attendee RSVPs and indicates they will pay at the door, and then does not attend the meeting, that attendee will be billed for and responsible for the cost. Attendees will have up to 72 hours (three days) prior to a meeting to cancel via phone, e-mail or in writing (unless otherwise noted). In the case of personal emergencies, requests for exceptions will be reviewed by the board. No Cash Policy: In December 2007, the SLA Michigan Chapter Board instituted a no cash policy. Attendees may pay via PayPal. When paying at the door, attendees are requested to use checks or money orders, but not cash. This change is to a) eliminate the need for those who check-in attendees at the meetings from having to make change, and b) avoid a program committee member carrying cash after a meeting.
