[Michlib-l] Nominations open for MCLS Board of Directors

[Heather Ladiski]

The MCLS Nominating & Leadership Development Committee seeks nominations 
from the membership for the following openings on the MCLS Board of 
Directors:

 - Academic Library Representative (Indiana)
 - Special Library Representative (Indiana)
 - School Library Representative (Michigan)
 - Research Library Representative (Michigan)
 - At-Large Library Representative (Michigan)

Each seat has a three-year term, beginning January 1, 2015 and expiring 
December 31, 2017. The board meets 4 times a year, in February, May, 
August, and November, and board meetings alternate between Michigan and 
Indiana. The November meeting includes a two-day strategy retreat to 
review activity of the previous year, assess trends, and determine 
strategic changes to MCLS’s services. Newly elected board members are 
asked to attend the annual retreat. MCLS reimburses board members for all 
direct meeting expenses.

The MCLS board utilizes the Policy Governance Model developed by John and 
Miriam Carver. To learn more about Policy Governance visit their website (
http://www.carvergovernance.com/). New board members will receive an 
orientation on Policy Governance prior to the board retreat.

To assist you in nominating candidates, read these sections from the 
board’s policy manual (

members. Under MCLS’s bylaws (
http://mcls.org/objects/rte/mediaupload/File/boardpublicdocs/Bylaws.pdf), 
only designated Member Representatives or alternates from MCLS member 
institutions may be nominated. This is your opportunity to nominate
