Meet the Leaders

Kia ora koutou!


We have an exciting opportunity coming up for you to "meet the leaders" in the Wellington library and information management field.  Ever wondered how Chris Szekely got the top job of Chief Librarian of the Turnbull?  Or what Jane Hill is going to attack first in her role as incoming LIANZA president?

This is your chance to meet and ask questions of some of the leading names in the sector, all in one convenient location.

How does it work?

In order to meet all our leaders, the evening will run to a "speed-dating" format in small groups. Each leader will chat with 3-4 people at a time. When the bell goes (every 6-8 minutes), you move along! Have questions for our leaders? Bring them along. Feeling tongue-tied? Not to worry, we'll supply some starter questions for you. And be prepared for the leaders to ask you questions as well!

When is it?

Friday 2 July, 5.30pm for a 6pm start.

Where is it?

Te Puni Kokiri, 143 Lambton Quay, Wellington

• Jane Hill, Manager, Wellington City Libraries, and incoming LIANZA President Elect
• Sue Roberts, University Librarian, Victoria University of Wellington
• Sue Sutherland, Deputy Chief Executive, National Library and Acting Director, National Digital Library
