Dear colleagues,

Here is an exciting opportunity for 12 qualified members (four representatives each from museums, libraries and archives) to form a learning cohort and attend four major sector conferences together in 2016 (AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo; ALA Annual Meeting 2016; Archives*Records 2016; and IMLS Focus Conference). Conference travel expenses will be funded by IMLS and the Coalition to Advance Learning in Archives, Libraries and Museums. This opportunity is offered through OCLC.

Applications are now being accepted through February 23, 2016. 

Take advantage of this distinctive professional learning and leadership opportunity and help strengthen connections across archives, museums and libraries!

Wow.  This looks like a wonderful opportunity.  I'll pass the information along to my colleagues. I'd apply myself, except that I'll be in Alaska at the end of July during the third conference.  Thanks for letting us know about this.
