“Speak Freely” is the theme that NJLA president Michael Mazekien has chosen for the New Jersey Library Association Conference this year. In keeping with this theme, we’ve opened submissions for program proposals for conference to the public. Although it is still recommended that program proposers follow through with a committee or section of NJLA to sponsor their program, this allows more open access for anyone to propose a program that they wish to see at the 2018 NJLA Conference at Harrah’s in Atlantic City.

The deadline is fast approaching and the Conference Committee wants to spread the word far and wide, to groups that may not have thought to propose programs before. Follow NJLA Conference on Twitter, Instagram, and the NJLA Facebook page for updates, and share these posts with your followers. Our social media handle is @njla_conf. The more people that share the call for proposals, the more widely seen it will become and the further reach it will have. Speak freely, share this blog post freely, and submit your program proposals at the link below!

Program proposals are due by November 10, 2017. Submissions may be made by following the link below for all types of programming at the conference.
