Join LIANZA Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui Committee

28/7/2023

0 Comments

 
LIANZA Te Upoko o Te Ika a Māui regional community is seeking new committee members.

The committee’s purpose is to deliver social and professional development events for members in the Wellington region and beyond. The committee is a good platform for building a professional network and developing a set of skills such as self-management, leadership, and problem-solving.

Over the past year, Te Upoko te Ika a Maui offered a Library Assistants’ Day in August 2022, hosted a regional hui to discuss the LIANZA strategic plan in October 2022, and recently co-hosted a networking event with LIANZA SLIS colleagues in June. The committee recently hosted an online event to promote rainbow-inclusive workplaces and spaces in libraries and have a joint session for and by children and youth librarians planned for August.

If you have a suggestion for a professional development session or are interested in joining the committee, or if you’d like to catch up over a coffee on a good Wellington day, please contact the LIANZA Te Upoko te Ika a Maui committee via the LIANZA office officeadmin@lianza.org.nz.
​
You can find out more about us from the LIANZA Communities page https://www.lianza.org.nz/lianza-communities/ or like us on  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TeUpokoLIANZA.
