“This year’s Trustee Training Week is a combination of current issues facing library boards along with refreshers on organizational basics,” said Wisconsin Trustee Training Week Coordinator Jean Anderson.
“There will be presentations on book challenges, communication between the Board and Director, and on governance best practices. In addition, we have repeat presenter Kris Turner talking about Wisconsin Library Law and a refresher on Robert’s Rules. There’s something for everyone,” she said.
The webinars will be recorded and archived for later viewing.
Trustee Training Week is supported by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), Public Library Development Team, with funding support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
