[Michlib-l] Board Member Conflict of Interest

[Membiela, Clare (MDE)]

Hello Jessica:

Some of this may depend on the exact relationship between the members, and what, if any, policies the library has on nepotism.
I'll send you some information directly.

Has anyone had a staff member's family member on your library board and if so did you have to do anything different for voting purposes. I imagine they could not vote on wage budget and similar things that affect the staff members directly. I appreciate your responses!
