Abstract
ALA’s Emerging Leader program was founded in 2007 by then-ALA President Leslie Burger as one of her presidential initiatives. Its goal is for participants to network, gain a greater understanding of how ALA works, and to learn about leadership both theoretically and practically, all of which results in participants being placed “on the fast track to ALA committee volunteerism as well as other professional library-related organizations” (ALA, 2011).
