SWAN Board Election Results
by Aaron Skog 30 May '14

30 May '14

SWAN Board Members: The election process concluded last Friday as of 5pm. The three candidates that were on the slate have all been contacted as of today. This election was very close, the closest I have dealt with since arriving at SWAN in 2008. David Seleb was elected from a total of 44 cast votes. I spoke with Anne Kozak this afternoon and she of course is disappointed, but wanted to make sure that her involvement in the Ambassador Program could continue. I assured her that she indeed can continue as a co-chair with Jim, noting that Jeannie Dilger continued on in her co-chair responsibility with the ILS Committee after she left the SWAN Board. I also contacted Tammy Clausen from Berwyn and thanked her for putting her self-nomination forward. The board seat David was elected to starts in July, which is always a tough month due to summer vacations scheduled, so he is not able to attend until the August meeting. I will add David to the SWAN Board email list at some point after the quarterly meeting. Anne, since you are on this list I would like to personally thank you and am grateful I had the opportunity to work with you on the SWAN Board. I would encourage you to put your name forward next year for the positions that will be opening up. Have a great weekend, Aaron Aaron Skog SWAN Executive Director 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5122 Fax: 630.734.5056 aaron.skog(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:aaron.skog@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

SWAN Board, RAILS Finance Accountant Merilynn Nagle resigned yesterday morning. I am in the process of changing bank account access with RAILS, but if you are contacted at all during this process, for security purposes please reach out directly to me. We just need to be careful.

SWAN Board Members: The Tuesday 5/13 meeting packet is now available for you: http://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2014-05-13/pac… The packet is 42 pages long. The board meeting will be held at Prairie State College after the Committee of the Whole meeting ends and everyone has had a bite to eat (scheduled for noon but the COW meetings don't tend to go much past 11). This is the lightest board meeting agenda we've had since I've been here so hopefully it will be a breeze! :) Thank you, Brande Redfield SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.redfield(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.redfield@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

Lunch on 5/13
by Brande Redfield 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hello SWAN Board, Though Rich will not be able to show everyone around next Tuesday after all, Aaron will still be following his recommendation for lunch at the Bergstein's NY Deli, for those who'd like to eat with him (you guys will have to go to the restaurant to eat, rather than me being able to order something for you all): http://bergsteinsny.com/menu/ If you'd prefer, you are also welcome to eat on your own if deli is not your thing! As he mentioned, there isn't much around there to have delivered, but he has noted that there is a McDonald's and a Burrito Station near to the school, as well as an Egg and I restaurant around the corner. Thank you, Brande Redfield SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.redfield(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.redfield@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

Hello SWAN Board, Just a reminder that, if we do want to go over the board self-evaluation results at the next Board meeting, I will need all documents submitted to me by Monday so that I can get them tallied and included in the board packet. Thanks all! :) Brande Redfield SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.redfield(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.redfield@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net
