The Laser Foundation has done just what you suggest.
We had 2 seminars last year for 'tomorrows leaders', i.e. those who will
be leaders and chiefs in a few years, and are (in the main), 2nd tier
now.
We followed this up with a 24 hour seminar recently, looking at the
public library sector in 10 years. It was excellent, with each of the
delegates (only 10), really thinking blue sky, and we hope to produce a
manifesto. The external facilitator was quite brilliant, and this helped
the group be very creative. The Laser Foundation will be at the Summit
and will hope to make a contribution, but it is a large forum, but it
does show the DCMS are taking the sector seriously. More young public
librarians need to be given this opportunity, I agree.

Subject: Who's in charge?
Does anyone know what form the 21 June conference ("summit") will take?
Despite the radical title there is a danger it could be a re-run of many
events in the past, consisting of only senior people and the "usual
suspects" at that. It would be good to have a more inclusive kind of
consultation/brainstorming exercise.
