[Michlib-l] Seeking Board Development Speaker Recommendations

[Membiela, Clare (MDE)]

Board Training Resources

Public library boards have an array of options for training , both live presentations and online options:

Cooperative Directors will train boards on a variety of topics.

Shirley Bruursema, an experienced trustee from Kent District Library and an amazing board consultant trains many boards.

Myself, Clare Membiela from the Library of Michigan trains boards on a variety of topics, and has a monthly webinar on topics of interest to boards and directors.

Many Library law attorneys will conduct board training, for example, I know Anne Seurynck does.

Digital, On-Demand Options:

Niche Academy - There are many modules pertinent to boards.
https://my.nicheacademy.com/staffskills

WebJunction - Also has  a wide variety of  useful presentations ready to go
http://www.webjunction.org/

United for Libraries - Division of ALA focused on Boards, FriendsGgroups and Foundations. This option also requires registration, but it contains courses, webinars, and many more valuable resources specifically for library boards. Membership for all libraries paid for by Library of Michigan using LSTA funds

Good Morning,

My board is looking for a speaker for a 1/2 day for board development and understanding their role in relation to the library director-bonus points if they worked with small, rural libraries. If anyone has any recommendations, please le me know.

Thank you,
