CDG North Eastern Sponsored Places at the CILIP AGM
Library of Birmingham, Saturday 21st September 2013
Career Development Group – North Eastern division are pleased to offer five sponsored places for students, unwaged or members of CDG who live in the North East to attend the CILIP AGM in Birmingham on Saturday 21st September (more information at http://www.cilip.org.uk/cilip/events/cilip-agm-2013). As the AGM is a free event, this bursary covers standard class return travel to Birmingham.
This is an excellent opportunity to attend a national CILIP event, meet other library and information professionals from across the UK, and of course is a great opportunity for professional development. The CILIP Big Day at Newcastle City Library last September was the first time the AGM had been held outside of London and was a very popular event. At this year’s AGM the new CILIP branding will be revealed and a motion of “no confidence” in Ed Vaizey will be discussed – it’s really going to be a “have your say” kind of thing! It will also be an excellent opportunity to explore the newly opened Library of Birmingham (http://libraryofbirmingham.com/).
To apply for a place please write a paragraph outlining why you would like to attend the event and/or how you would benefit from attendance and send to [log in to unmask] by 4pm on Wednesday 21st August. Successful applicants will be notified by 24th August. The sponsored attendees will also be asked to write a short article for the CDG NE Newsletter, InView, on their experience of attending the event.
