October 22: An Electrifying Evening with Gloria Zamora at the National Electronics Museum

The Maryland SLA Chapter is proud to host an energizing presentation by SLA President Gloria Zamora on Thursday, Oct. 22, followed by tours of the National Electronics Museum featuring cool electronic gizmos.

Gloria’s presentation kicks off our evening with a dynamic discussion about the strategies, tools, and clear compelling language that SLA has developed from its Alignment Project. Listen to Gloria describe the process and outcomes which we all can use to give ourselves a competitive advantage at work and spark a stronger recognition for our profession.

Gloria’s message speaks to all librarians and information professionals across sectors of business, government, law, medicine, academia, or wherever we strategically use information to advance the missions of our organizations.
