SWAN Board 4/15/16 Meeting Packet Posted!
by Brande Overbey 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

SWAN Board Members: The Friday 4/15 meeting packet is now available for you: https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2016-04-15/pa… The meeting packet is only a modest 49 pages long this time! We will be continuing our discussion on futures staffing and facilities, reviewing budget scenarios for both, and getting an update on the RAILS LLSAP budget too. We are hopeful to wrap the meeting by lunch but I can certainly order food if the meeting gets lengthy. Also, in regards to the Action Item 7, SWAN Bylaws, Sheila has shared her thoughts below for the potential revisions that we may want to incorporate: Article 3 Section 2. or Assistant Administrators (only if Aaron likes this idea) Section 4. Delete 2nd sentence OR members may serve as many terms as they are elected. Section. 11 If a Board member vacates office and there are two years or more left on the term, a special elections will be held. If there is one year or less Article 4 Section 2 Delete Each officer may service in the same office three consecutive years. How can we add electronic voting? It needs to be a quorum. I think people need to come to the meeting to me it sounds like a way for someone to lobby for votes promising anonymity. The current version of the bylaws can be found here: https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/gov/SWAN%20ByLaws.pdf See you on Friday, Brande Overbey SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.overbey(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.overbey@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

FW: SWAN Staff Announcement
by Aaron Skog 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

SWAN Board, FYI. We will have a SWANcom go out later today. I need to meet with Kate and Brande to discuss recruitment for this soon to be open position. 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 From: Aaron Skog Sent: Monday, April 04, 2016 9:58 AM To: swanstaff Subject: SWAN Staff Announcement Hi team, Another big staff announcement to make for SWAN, and one that I know will have many of us saddened to hear because we will miss her terribly! After 30 years of service to us, Renee Clanton has notified me of her upcoming retirement plans. Renee's last day with SWAN will be July 31st of this year. Renee has been such a huge part of SWAN over the years, and for many of us has been both a friend and mentor as well. She has also been a key player in all of the recent big changes for SWAN, including having an integral role in our migration. Simply put, SWAN would not be as successful as it is today without Renee and we are so grateful to her for her years of service. We wish her the very best of luck and happiness in her upcoming retirement! We will arrange a retirement celebration with our membership, so you can anticipate a date we will arrange soon with the announcement. 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
