Christopher Mick was able to attend the Lead the Way:  Libraries at the Heart of Community Engagement Conference in Madison in April.  His costs were defrayed by two things:

• First, he submitted a proposal to present about a program related to bringing the solar system to Hudson.  His proposal was selected, and that came with a free registration for the conference.
• Second, he applied for a scholarship from IFLS to pay for mileage and hotel stay.  The IFLS scholarships are funded with a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, with dollars coming from the federal Institute for Museum and Library Services.

Christopher created a half hour presentation about some of his key take-aways from the conference experience.  If you want to just check out the slides he created, they are also available.

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and experience, Christopher!
