[Michlib-l] Board Trustees:

[White, Shannon (MDE)]

The Quality Services Audit Checklist measures from the Library of Michigan contain continuing education requirements for board members. We hope that you can encourage them or that they even adopt the QSAC measures or ones that are even stronger for their own development as trustees.

You can find QSAC information here: www.michigan.gov/qsac<http://www.michigan.gov/qsac>

Some of the QSAC measures include:
