Chinese American Librarians Association

The Chinese American Librarians Association, in partnership with the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association, will host a one-day forum to support leadership development opportunities for the community of Asian American and Pacific Islander American (APIA) library workers. Funding will provide 50 library and information science students and professionals at all levels with the opportunity to build strategies to develop APIA library leaders and solutions for the barriers that they experience. The forum will produce a white paper documenting ideas for leadership development pipelines among APIA library workers and a curriculum outline for a leadership program specifically for APIA library workers.
