About this Event
We’ve all been there. Stuck in the same position doing the same duties, and other duties as assigned again and again like clockwork for compensation that just can’t stretch far enough. How do I get my boss to see I’m valuable? How do I make my skills translate into a new position and title at another library? Let’s work through this time together.
Jennifer Hovanec, Executive Director of the La Grange Public Library
Suzy Antell, Deputy Director, Oak Park Public Library
Michelle Krooswyk, Executive Director, New Lenox Public Library
Sandra Leyva, Patron Services Manager, Alsip-Merrionette Park Public Library
Sara van der Heyden, Maker Services Manager, Addison Public Library
Our panel of experts will share their experiences as their libraries sizes, budgets, and career paths to growth look vastly different. Ask questions and get advice on how to move up or move on in the Illinois library world.
