The program is premised on the value of experiential learning, within the context of a beautiful but isolated Rocky Mountain venue, the Jasper Park Lodge in Jasper National Park, Alberta. We encourage the nomination of individuals or seek the nomination for individuals with demonstrated leadership potential as well as intention and an ability to share with others their vision and enthusiasm for the future of library and information service.
