10 things every library friend or trustee should know
Join us to learn about the role and responsibilities of an effective library board member and how to be a true advocate for your library.
This event has passed.
Library Friends and Trustees fall into two camps: 1) Those who have served on a nonprofit board 2) Those who have not. But – nonprofit board experience is not the same as library board experience, especially one that is a governmental entity! Members who do not adequately understand their roles are more likely to venture into areas that are not their responsibility. Join us for a fast-paced and informative session that is sure to surprise you!
