ARL/MLA Select 2003-2004 Leadership and Career Development Program Class

by Jerome Offord, Jr., Program Officer for Training and Diversity

ARL and the Medical Library Association (MLA) are pleased to announce the 2003-2004 Leadership and Career Development (LCD) Program participants. The LCD Program is designed to increase the number of librarians from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in positions of influence and leadership in research libraries by helping them develop the skills needed to be more competitive in the promotion process. This year, ARL and MLA formed a national collaboration to target librarians from underrepresented groups within medical librarianship. This collaboration will allow at least two librarians from the medical field to participant in the LCD Program. Below is a list of this year's participants along with their research topics and mentors.
