November 22 Forum on "“The Empowered Support Staff: Paraprofessionals as Teamplayers"

Dear Colleague:

Greetings!

The Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians (PAARL) invites you to a Forum on “The Empowered Support Staff: Paraprofessionals as Teamplayers.” This will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. at the National Library Auditorium, 6th Floor, The National Library, T.M. Kalaw, Ermita, Manila.

Specifically, this forum will attempt to:

1). Provide an opportunity for library support staff to understand the basic concepts of empowerment, personal responsibility, accountability and participation as high-involvement skills in the library workplace.

2). Motivate and encourage them to “rock the boat” in bringing creative concepts, progressive initiatives and sense of purpose in their jobs and lives for the continuous improvement in the workplace systems and processes.

3). Help them realize their full potentials in creating a positive work environment witha sense of trust, importance, and capability towards maximum work productivity.

This Lecture-Forum is free to PAARL members. Non-members will be charged PHP 150.00 and PHP 75.00 for students. We encourage early confirmation of attendance. For inquiries and other details you may contact any Board Member of PAARL or call:
