CSLP Newsletter: December 2023
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/ddf8a77f3467/cslp-newsletter-august-6685954?e=c18caf2bb6> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/ed31fdf7-bdb…] Letter from the CSLP Board of Trustees President Dear CSLP Membership, Wow! What a year 2023 was... I'm sure many of us can say this for numerous reasons, but for the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) it really has been a whirlwind of change and new beginnings. I would like to share my heartfelt thanks to the CSLP Staff, the Board of Directors, and all of our Committee Chairs; for their hard work and diligence guiding us through this past year. We began it without an Executive Director, and with such a small staff that has big impacts. Now we end the year with our new Executive Director, Dawn Krause, and she dove fearlessly into the position, and all that it takes to make the mostly volunteer driven organization that is CSLP work. A huge thanks goes out to Mellissa Hooke, CSLP Office Administrator, for helping guide the organization along so steadfastly. And to Alyssa Graybeal, CSLP Manual Editor, for putting out another fantastic and improved manual, despite all the unknowns. Without these three dedicated employees, the day-to-day of CSLP operations would surely faulter. As for the Board of Directors and Committee Chairs, I almost do not know where to begin. Everyone stepped up to help, from smaller tasks to large ones. We truly would not have made it through this year of change without relying on each other, and that is exactly what makes CSLP unique. CSLP reflects what true librarianship means: working together to provide access to all - CSLP empowers libraries to foster community through inclusive literacy-based programming. And behind the scenes, I find great joy in seeing everyone working together, often going above and beyond, to offer such quality programming and support for libraries. As we ring in the New Year, I am passing the gavel on to President-Elect Donna Throckmorton, and I for one am excited to see what 2024 brings for CSLP.

Jan. 22 Free Webinar: The Prepared Leader: Emerge from Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before
by Kristin Fontichiaro 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

May be of interest to library leaders! Free Jan. 22 webinar at 2pm Eastern based on the book *The Prepared Leader: Emerge from Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before *from Ross School of Business's Center for Positive Organizations. This Zoom event is open to the public; you'll receive a Zoom link moments after completing registration. (Note: I'm familiar with the speakers' book but I'm not associated with this event -- please direct questions to cpo-events(a)umich.edu.) Kristin ************ The next crisis might be here now, or it might be around the corner. In no other time in recent history have leaders in every industry and on every continent grappled with so many changes that have independently and simultaneously undermined their ability to lead. Join Erika H. James and Lynn Perry Wooten for a virtual fireside chat with Gretchen Spreitzer where they bring decades of world-renowned research on crisis leadership, diversity and inclusion, management strategy, and positive leadership to the table to help leaders better prepare themselves to lead through crises―and for whatever lies around the corner. They’ll discuss tools and frameworks from their book, *The Prepared Leader: Emerge from Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before <https://jamesandwooten.com/the-prepared-leader/>*, for addressing and learning from crises so you can navigate through the distinct challenges of today and tomorrow. James and Wooten forcefully argue that the time to prepare is always. ------------------------------ Positive Links Speaker Series Sponsors The Center for Positive Organizations thanks Sanger Leadership Center <http://michiganross.umich.edu/sanger>, Tauber Institute for Global Operations <http://www.tauber.umich.edu/>, and Samuel Zell & Robert H.
