2023 New Supervisors' Academy



The 2023 NEO-RLS New Supervisors' Academy is looking for new attendees.
Becoming a supervisor adds new and different challenges to your work day regardless of the type of library you work in or the size of library you work in. The Academy's courses will provide you with the skills and confidence you need to handle the many and varied challenges of being a supervisor. Programs will focus on three key areas: leadership, communication and staff development. The Academy is appropriate for new supervisors in multi-type libraries and for those who want a refresher. We invite you to register today!
  • The Academy is a blended course which runs from February through November and consists of 4 in-person workshops, 2 online workshops and 5 webinars.
  • We recommend that you attend the Academy in its entirety in order to maximize your learning.
  • Archives of live webinars will be available at your convenience for those attending the Academy in its entirety and experiencing a scheduling conflict.
  • Live webinars will be available individually for registration for those NOT attending the Academy in its entirety.

I enjoyed getting to know other supervisors and hear about their struggles and victories. Finding common ground was really nice since so many of us were in the same situation."
