The White Paper Forum convened in June 2015 to kick off a session on developing white papers. Participants were asked to select a prompt from a menu about how their educational programs incorporate active, applied pedagogy and community connections. They would then develop a response to collect data and use as the basis for a white paper submission. The purpose was both to gather information on how constructs are implemented in different programs and to create a white paper from each response.

This document summarizes the rise of new professionals in the UK library association CILIP since 2009. It describes how the authors, two of whom were new professionals at the time, engaged and empowered other new library and information professionals by creating and nurturing the New Professionals Network. This grassroots movement provided new professionals with opportunities to influence and transform CILIP. It gave individuals a community for mutual support and raised the profile of new professionals within the larger field. The network has significantly impacted LIS governance in the UK. The document aims to inspire both current new professionals and veterans to get involved in their professional associations and effect change.
