A favor, if I could be so bold . . .<br>
<br>
I submitted a proposal for a conversation starter on Cultural
Intelligence (CQ) Building for ALA annual in San Francisco this
summer. As I note in the proposal, "Cultural Intelligence
building is a life-long journey, and all can improve their CQ
over time. In a world of culture clashes, both inconsequential
and deadly, any effort towards cultural intelligence will make
an immediate and effective impact." The topic is important, and
one that resonates for libraries, as the session I led on
Cultural Intelligence at the Michigan Library Association
conference this past year demonstrated.<br>
<br>
The favor? Apparently a third of the decision on whether or not
my proposal will be accepted is based on public voting by ALA
members. So if you are an ALA member and felt inclined to
support my proposal, go to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://connect.ala.org/node/236549">http://connect.ala.org/node/236549</a>
and log in to your ALA account to vote yes. If you're looking
for my proposal another way on ALAConnect, it's full title is "A
CQ Teaser: Exploring Cultural Intelligence."<br>
<br>
I would also appreciate it if you would share this request with
a few of your colleagues who might also be willing to support my
proposal.<br>
<br>
And if the topic interests you for a staff inservice or
training, I would be happy to facilitate a workshop on Cultural
Intelligence for you for 1-6 hrs, depending on your needs.<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your support!<br>
Marla<br>
