CFP - Archives Leadership Institute
Archives Leadership Institute: Call for Applicants 2013
The Archives Leadership Institute at Luther College requests applicants for
its 2013 institute. The Institute provides advanced training for a cohort
of 25 emerging and innovative leaders, giving them the knowledge and tools
to transform the archival profession in practice, theory and attitude. The
2013 ALI@Luther Leadership Intensive will be held June 16-22, 2013.
The program includes five elements:
- A week-long residential Leadership Intensive held on Luther College's
campus;
- A focused practicum project that will connect leadership skills with
action;
- A practices workshop held during the annual meeting of the Society of
American Archivists;
- Global group projects that will encourage all ALI alumni to generate
solutions to challenges within the profession; and
- A moderated online network experience that will serve as a virtual
space for the ALI community to share and grow.
The core approach will intertwine strategic and advanced leadership
thinking with a clear and purposeful archival curriculum that includes
project management, strategic visioning and human resource development,
strategies for born digital resources, and advocacy and outreach. This
curriculum will be taught by Kathleen Roe, New York State Archives; Sharon
Leon, The Center for History and New Media at George Mason University;
Daniel Noonan, The Ohio State University; and Christopher Barth, The United
States Military Academy at West Point.
ALI@Luther will be influenced by a steering committee of experienced
leaders in the archival profession who will also serve as mentors to ALI
participants. The steering committee includes Terry Baxter, Multnomah
County Records Program, Portland, Ore.; Brenda Gunn, The Dolph Briscoe
Center for American History at The University of Texas-Austin; Geof Huth,
New York State Archives; Beth Myers, Women and Leadership Archives at
Loyola University; Daniel Noonan, The Ohio State University; and Tanya
Zanish-Belcher, Iowa State University.
The entire program will be facilitated by Luther Snow, consultant, author
and facilitator. Rachel Vagts, Luther College Archivist and a 2010 Archives
Leadership Institute alumna, will serve as ALI@Luther program director.
Sasha Griffin, Luther College Digital Archivist, will serve as program
coordinator.
Tuition for the Institute is $500 and covers the cost of the program,
lodging and most meals. Transportation will be provided from the Rochester,
MN, airport as necessary. The institute provides a number of awards for
tuition and/or travel assistance.
The Archives Leadership Institute is supported by a grant from the National
Historical Publications and Records Commission, the granting agency of the
National Archives and Records Administration. The NHPRC supports projects
that promote the preservation and use of America's documentary heritage and
the continuing development of professional skills for archivists, records
managers and historical editors. First funded in 2008, the Archives
Leadership Institute seeks to bring to tomorrow's leaders the insights and
understanding necessary for increasing public use and appreciation of
archives.
