SWAN Board,
Thanks Ted for arranging the June meeting to be held on Friday, June 28th at Thomas Ford Memorial Library. I have updated the L2 event and will announce this to the membership.
https://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=28159
The new reps have been added to this email list, so you have 10 directors at the moment, along with Ginny Blake, Dawne Tortorella, and myself. We use this list mainly as a one-way communication on the upcoming meetings. None of you are set for moderation on the list, so reply-all is possible, but generally should be avoided (thank you OMA).
We have on our SWAN support site “Information for Board Members” which includes a list for New Board Member Orientation.

That is it for the moment!

Hi SWAN Board,
The results of the election are the following:
Robin Wagner, South Holland Public Library
Jane Jenkins, Green Hills Public Library District
Dawn Bussey, Glen Ellyn Public Library
I have contacted all of the individuals who ran. Here is an update from the three new reps:
Robin Wagner: I am so honored and excited! I'll be there on June 21st. Look forward to working with you and the Board.
Jane Jenkins: Thank you! I feel very honored to have been elected and am looking forward to serving on the SWAN Board. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the get together with the new representatives on June 21 as I am on vacation from June 20 - June 25.
Dawn Bussey: One small problem- June 21st I am headed in to the city for the day with the GEPL Marketing team. We have been selected to receive one day of free marketing and branding help from a large marketing branding firm by the name of Prophet. I will also miss the June 6th quarterly because I will be on vacation. I will review the packets for both. I will make SWAN meetings a top priority on my calendar going forward.

Hi All,
To clarify, our we filling these out individually or as a collective board on Friday? I thought we were doing this together, but I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks for the clarification!

Hi SWAN Board,
The evaluation form is attached. I will include it in the board meeting packet, but I thought you might want it as a standalone document.

Subject: [SWANboard] Aaron's Self Evaluation
Hi all,
You will find Aaron's 2019 self evaluation attached to this email. In advance of our discussion next Friday, you may find this helpful.
As we discussed, the Friday closed session will be an opportunity to pool our thoughts on Aaron's evaluation and work on creating a final document that is clear and meaningful. The evaluation form hasn't changed from last year and will be included in the packet that Aaron sends out in case anyone needs a copy.
Also included in this document is a salary history and pay grade for your reference as we consider any salary increase this year.
Let me know if you have any questions and have a great weekend.
Thanks!
