“…Advancing the career pathways for CUNY library support-staff works simultaneously with recruitment and retention of an already diverse group. Farrell (2017) pointed out that aligning key library employee development consists of "working at the senior management level to develop an appropriate budget for organizational learning that maximizes return on investment" (p.6).

Maximizing the current organizational culture and diversity/inclusion practices within CUNY libraries is crucial to retaining highly talented support staff with significant potential for future leadership roles. This research explores equity, diversity, and inclusion within the library profession, with the intention of implementing strategic frameworks to attract, recruit, and retain underrepresented groups within the University. To spotlight areas of upward mobility within CUNY academic libraries, a CUNY-wide Library Workplace Climate survey on the perceptions of diversity, universal inclusion, and career progression was conducted. The scope of the survey study compares the different perspectives of CUNY librarians, full-time library classified paraprofessionals, and part-time classified staff to measure CUNY's commitment to addressing the diversity gap in the library profession. CUNY-wide, 141 library employees participated in a survey study to uncover professional development opportunities in support of career advancement and upward mobility. Nearly 2 in 5 African American/Black library staff-members are paraprofessionals, while 13.5% are faculty. A stark contrast to 3 in 5 or 64% CUNY library faculty, which identified as White/Caucasian. The findings reinforce the need for measures to maximize workplace diversity through support-staff mentoring, guidance, and recruitment.Workplace mentorship and career development-across all levels within CUNY librariescultivate skills for a better work environment that can lead to promotion and successful plans for succession. Investing and sustaining structured library professional development opportunities geared towards underrepresented groups-generally in paraprofessional and student-worker roles-will help identify next generation CUNY library leadership.

The role and competencies of the chief learning officer (CLO) have been evolving, demonstrating a need to identify them from research-based evidence. In this qualitative study based on the interviews of 12 chief learning officers, we address the different roles performed by CLOs and the essential professional competencies needed for them to perform the role of a CLO, as contextualized in organizations in the United States. We developed a Chief Learning Officer Competency Model that includes 6 competency domains, 13 roles, and 31 competencies for CLOs. The findings have implications for current CLOs and professionals aspiring to serve as CLOs. The results also have implications for education and leadership graduate and professional development programs that support learning and development and business professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to grow and function as a CLO.
