I attended the Ninth Northern Exposure to Leadership Institute (NEL 9) in early March, 2007. This program is intended for librarians who have a desire to develop their leadership potential, received their degree within the past seven years and have a minimum of two years of professional experience.
This is the spiritual journey I mentioned in this blog before. I hope many of you would have the opportunity to experience it at the earlier stages of your careers. I wrote an article and submitted to the SLA WCC online newsletter, The Wired West, and the BCLA Reporter.

Thanks Linda for sharing your heart-felt experience, and for answering Heather’s question. I wish more members will share our experience and achievment. In fact, a couple of people were asking me to learn more on NELI and Tostmaster from you at the meeting. The blog turned out to be a good tool for this purpose.
I am really touched by your words, Linda! and honored by having you among us, a mentally very rich friend and a mentor.
