Successful library boards provide organizational oversight, hire and evaluate leadership, and advocate for the organization. This workshop is designed to help those new to the trustee role navigate their responsibilities as a library board member. Attendees will learn board fundamentals, board governing documents, fiduciary duty, and the parameters of the board/staff relationship.
Led by nationally-recognized trainer and triple-certified parliamentarian Nancy Sylvester, this program will also address how to run efficient and effective board meetings and cover quorum, agenda, the basic characteristics of a motion, and the processing, precedence, and scripting of motions.
This program is open to new trustees as well as current trustees and library directors who would like a review of board essentials and parliamentary procedure.
