*Event Description*White Pine Library Cooperative will be hosting an Open
Meetings Act and Parliamentarian Procedures program for you and your
Library Trustees on *Thursday, November 2, 2023, from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
at Reese Unity District Library.* Some Boards have found themselves in need
of a refresher on the Open Meetings Act as well as running a Library Board
meeting while following parliamentarian procedure. You may not be
experiencing meetings where a lot of the public shows up, but being
prepared for this type of situation helps take the pressure off the
Director and the Board.

The session will include a review of the Michigan Open Meetings Act, basic
parliamentary procedure, and rules that the Board can enact. Those
interested will need to register for this *FREE* event.  This is an
in-person program, no virtual option will be available.

*Registration is open through October 31, 2023. Register here:  *
