The 2009-10 Shared Leadership Program Presentation Day was held on 26 March 2010 at Melbourne City Library. The Presentation Day marked the successful completion of the program for the twenty participants who were awarded their Certificate of Achievement by John Murrell, President, Public Libraries Victoria Network.
Equally, it was an opportunity for participants to share the outcomes and learnings from their action learning projects, which focused on relevant strategic issues and ideas to benefit the Victorian public library network. Each team delivered their presentation to public library service managers and CEOs, and senior State Library of Victoria representatives.
