Dear Colleagues, The Art Librarian Parents and Caregivers SIG is organizing a session proposal for the 2018 ARLIS/NA Annual Conference on establishing family-friendly policies in libraries, archives, and museums. Do you have a story to share about how you successfully advocated for family-friendly services or negotiated with your employer to create a more accommodating workplace? Would you be willing to summarize your experiences and participate in a Q&A with other librarians and work/life experts? We are seeking panelists to share experiences that ARLIS/NA parents could try at their own institutions. Topics may include (but are not limited to): - Negotiating for maternity/paternity leave (paid or unpaid) - Advocating for maternity leave and other essential benefits - Lactation space for employees and/or lactation rooms as a library service - Flex schedules/working from home - Work/life balance - Baby-friendly work environments - Advancing your career while parenting If interested, please contact Stephanie Fletcher by Monday, April 24th with a brief summary of your experience. We will notify applicants by April 26th and submit the proposal by April 28th. We look forward to hearing from you!
