Trible Library Receives Gift of Leadership Library
When ILA transitioned to a virtual office, we donated our physical library to longtime member Christopher Newport University, celebrating 25 years of partnership in advancing leadership. As Brent Cusher, the current department chair, notes, “CNU’s involvement with ILA has massively shaped our identity as an institution concerned with leadership”—and these books will continue that legacy.
ILA’s book series offer the best contemporary thinking about leadership from a diverse range of scholars, educators, and practitioners working around the globe. In keeping with the mission of the ILA, the book series build connections between how people research, enact, and experience leadership to advance leadership knowledge and practice for a just and thriving future.
