[PL-Directors] Board training opportunities: Keeping Governance on Track (3/29 and 3/31)

[HANNING Darci C * SLO]

Hello directors, and my apologies if you've already received this information:

Library boards are facing an increase in disruptions during board meetings, often making it difficult to conduct necessary board business. With the rise in challenges to library materials and programs, boards can be impacted internally (conflict/dissent among board members) and externally (public comment and disruptions from meeting observers).

In "Keeping Governance on Track<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMDQ3ODM3MSZwPTEmdT0xMTIxNzM2MTI2JmxpPTkzMjUyMTcz/index.html>," professional parliamentarian Nancy Sylvester<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMDQ3ODM3MSZwPTEmdT0xMTIxNzM2MTI2JmxpPTkzMjUyMTc1/index.html> will share actions, training, and preparation boards and library directors can take now to be ready for problems and issues, and tips/best practices for handling in the moment problems/issues in board meetings.
