Emerging Leaders more representative over time
Looking at a recent photo of the 2009 Emerging Leaders I noticed, as I did in previous years, the few men in the background of the picture. Granted the profession is predominately female, though I didn't know it was as low as 19.4% male (ALA Demographics) when I started a short study. Using the wiki and Google Image Search I got some rough numbers.
Emerging Leaders 2007 - 25% male
Emerging Leaders 2008 - 22% male
Emerging Leaders 2009 - 19% male
You can check my numbers, but what will be shown even with small error is that rather than disproportionately representing women, emerging leaders is actually proportionally representing them. This is great, since historically even librarianship has given men favor in leadership positions despite the predominance of women in the profession. Just another day for me in a dramatic gender minority.
