Abstract

Whether you're participating in one of SLA's certificate programs (copyright management, competitive intelligence, or knowledge management), attending a course at the annual conference, attending a workshop sponsored by a local chapter, or participating in a Click University session, you'll be better prepared (read "more agile") to anticipate what the future has to offer and be ready to add value to the responses you make within your organization. The opportunity to serve in SLA's volunteer leadership roles is another benefit you can use to enhance your professional portfolio with demonstrable experience as a meeting organizer, group leader, budget planner, copywriter, or time manager.
