Power Mapping Webinar 
A broad base of community support is essential to a healthy library. Sometimes, though, you have initiatives and plans for your library that are never going to fly without support from key decision makers within your community. So how do you win support from those key people? The answer: Power Mapping. Power Mapping is a political technique that allows you to identify specific influencers and secure their support for your cause. Patrick "PC" Sweeney will walk you through the details of the Power Mapping technique and explain how it can be applied in your own local context. Patrick is a veteran of many library campaigns and is the Political Director at EveryLibrary.
