A quick word from the committee
Welcome to the 2010 YALSA President’s Program. We’ve been planning this program for a long time. We’re so excited to present this program virtually.
When we started the planning process, almost a year ago, we really thought we had thoroughly explored the idea of “risk.” We read a lot of articles; we checked out the YALSA chat on Risk; we had numerous discussions on risk via email.
But then we got a real-life risky experience when Linda Braun asked us to create a completely virtual program. Since we had already decided to provide a take-away — some kind of “risk kit” — to program participants, we decided it really made the most sense (even if it did make us nervous).
Our three panelists are linked in the column on the far left. See what the Search Institute, Media MashUp project and FIERCE can teach us about taking risks.
The Search Institute’s Risk Tool Kit is available from their page and also in the middle column.
We’ve had a ton of fun putting all of this together. We’re so happy with the variety of viewpoints included in the videos, and with the tool kit you can use on your own. We hope our resources come in handy for you when you’re out, innovating in the field!
-Franklin, Nicole, and Sarah
