 I took so many great classes but the one that really stood out I believe it was in my final year and I took a class on leadership. I loved it. It just it opened up so so many windows to better understanding management in a public environment and just being an effective leader. And I'm just going to go back to my leadership class. I don't know the specifics but when I do come across the the name or the teachings of a particular author that we studied I am reminded of of what I learned in that class and I think Venice is one that brings a bell but what I learned in that one class it just really it it really helped me put it all together and bring it to the profession. You know like any other system we've had a few but nothing like you're hearing about in the news. I mean we're talking about what our response should be will be has been but that's an anticipation of something happening. We hope we don't ever have to put any hard core things into place but we need an association to support the initiatives that are needed statewide. I mean in Sacramento we are we aren't well funded but we're better funded than a lot of other libraries and we have a large enough staff where we can make a lot of things happen. In my little hometown of Loomis it's a single library. They need resources so if you don't have an association that helps fight the fight at the government level and helps keep the entire industry in our state informed and trained then it's not going to be a profession that really holds true into the future and it does it cost a lot to be a CLA member and these conferences are so important to bring people together to learn new things so yes it's important to be a CLA member and I love that the iSchool offers that your first year because that's its prime in the pump. My reason I chose SJSU A it was affordable it was accessible and it was completely online and living in the Sacramento area during the great recession entering into a new profession it just it ticked all the boxes and so when I started getting involved in it the next great thing I discovered was that entering into this digital world I was five steps ahead of a lot of my colleagues because I was constantly in it having to learn new platforms having to communicate effectively in teams online so it was it was even more than what the class has brought it was just really the the platform the experience now of course today we're all kind of used to it but in 2011 it was it really gave me that extra boost in the career that was an unanticipated benefit
