Top 10 Things Every Library Friend or Trustee Member Should Know
Learn about the roles and responsibilities of effective library board members and how to be a true advocate for your library.
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. Right now, especially in libraries, we are seeing a surge in board members who are venturing into areas of staff supervision and evaluation, which is forbidden territory. Join us for a fast-paced and informative session that is sure to surprise you!
