Is your library considering starting a Foundation, or are you in the planning stages? Join Jeanette Conaway and Samantha Bonnette of Shreve Memorial Library Foundation (Shreveport, La.) to find out how they established the Foundation and determined its structure, projects, and initiatives. Attendees will learn first steps in creating a Foundation, what guidelines and regulations to be aware of, and how to ensure the Foundation grows and provides support for the library.

Samantha Bonnette is the Marketing and Development Manager for Shreve Memorial Library. When it comes to marketing, she has done it all - from special events, promotions and relationship marketing in casinos to fundraising and awareness campaigns for nonprofits, public relations for local governments to organizing festivals and coordinating advertising campaigns, to name a few. Since joining Shreve Memorial Library in January 2017, Samantha has worked to develop the library's Strategic Plan, increase awareness of library resources and services as well as attendance at library programs and events, and establish the Shreve Memorial Library Foundation.

Jeanette E Conaway, is the Development Officer at Shreve Memorial Library Foundation. With several years of experience as an advancement/fundraising professional, Jeanette joined the Shreve Memorial Library as a part-time development officer nearly two years ago. Her experience includes major gift fundraising, campaigns and foundation management. She started her career in healthcare, learning a great deal about hospital operations before joining the Foundation.  She also has worked with independent schools as the chief fundraising officer.  Her major accomplishments have been to raise funds for a children's hospital and an expansion of emergency services for a healthcare system. Jeanette believes it is a privilege to work with prospective donors to help connect with causes they are passionate about supporting.
