Multigenerational perspectives and practices can boost a library’s inclusivity and effectiveness. This dynamic program will explore shared leadership practices, innovative strategies to bridge generational divides, and practical tools to promote cross-mentorship. Facilitators will create a space to connect, solve problems, and share best practices with fellow library leaders. Participants will leave with resources and a plan for how to bring multigenerational collaboration to their libraries.

About the President’s Institute
The President’s Institute seeks to provide opportunities for participation by ARL member institutions and others in our field each year during the start of the ARL presidency. One of the ARL Institutes, this interactive event convenes a broad community of individuals, subject-matter experts, middle managers, senior leaders, and general executives from ARL libraries and beyond on top-of-mind issues facing research libraries. As part of the President’s Institute, the Julia C. Blixrud Scholarship recipient is selected, attends, and writes a report on the institute to be published by ARL.
