From alice.laviolette at state.or.us Tue Mar 1 10:03:11 2011 From: alice.laviolette at state.or.us (Alice Laviolette) Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 18:03:11 +0000 Subject: [Capital_Librarians] Announcing State Librarian's retirement Message-ID: STATE LIBRARIAN ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT AT THE END OF 2011 At the February 7th Board meeting, the State Librarian announced to the Board that he planned to retire from his post at the end of the year. Scheppke has been the Oregon State Librarian for 20 years and has worked at the State Library for 25 years. He had previously told the Board that he planned to retire at the end of 2012, however, he explained that he decided to change his plans, in part to allow the new State Librarian to better participate in planning for the 2013-15 biennium. State Library Board Chair Sue Burkholder will work with the Library's Human Resources Manager, Diane Ballard, to begin to develop a process to recruit the new Oregon State Librarian. Burkholder noted at the meeting that she had some experience in this, having served on the selection committee when Scheppke was hired 20 years ago. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
