LIANZA WEBINAR - LEARN MORE ABOUT APPLYING FOR A LIANZA ASSOCIATESHIP
Thursday April 7 @ 1 - 2PM

Are you an early or mid-career library and information professional?
Have you considered applying for a LIANZA associateship? Becoming an associate is a significant professional achievement. It demonstrates your commitment to professional learning, the impact you make in your workplace, and your contribution to the wider library and information sector.

What the webinar will cover
LIANZA Credentials Committee are keen to receive more associate applications this year. If you are interested to learn more about why you should apply, please come to this webinar. You will learn more about:

• the application process
• what evidence of professional achievement is required
• and how to prepare a presentation for your interview with the committee.

The webinar will be facilitated by Melanie Brebner, LIANZA Te Whakakitenga aa Kaimai, with Lee Rowe, LIANZA Credentials Committee and some recent LIANZA associates. The associates will talk to you about why they applied, what impact the professional recognition award has had for them, and why they would encourage you to apply. Bring your questions and learn more.  

Encourage your colleagues to apply
You may have colleagues that you think are candidates for a LIANZA associateship, so please encourage them to attend or to apply in 2022.
