Taking place online on Wednesday, May 13, 2020, this one-day conference is designed to give librarians and library staff the opportunity to learn, share insights, and discuss best practices on managing their careers from start to finish. With proper planning and knowledge, library professionals can actively cultivate their career to go farther, find more fulfillment and create work that matters.

Topics may include, but are not limited to: * Setting career goals/Setting a vision for your career * Assuming a leadership role * Exiting librarianship * After librarianship * Switching gears * Succession planning * Things I wish I knew earlier If you can speak on one of these topics, or have another topic in mind, please submit your proposal at https://www.amigos.org/node/6265 by Friday, March 13, 2020 at noon - central time.
