Hello SWAN Board,
The meeting packet is posted for Friday:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/20_05_22/6696…
This meeting will be held online as we have done for the last two meetings. I will refer to the "Remote Meeting Guide" we have posted on the SWAN Support site:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/67493
The install of the GoToMeeting client is likely set for you but just in case you are now starting to work in another location using different equipment, here is the link to use to test ahead of Friday's meeting.

My Executive Director report details the SWAN Circulation Policy changes and the impact study for the three public libraries seeking to join SWAN. If you have questions, feel free to send them to me in advance.
Oh, and I have a very lengthy explanation on the negative balance for the health insurance line you saw from last month's revenue and expense report.
Cheers!

SWAN Board Reps,
I have added Jennifer to the email list.
For those that are curious, this list is using the same software that SWANcom runs on. The list has a publicly available archive going back to 2013. RAILS hosts both lists, and we have a goal to move off of it and into a SWAN hosted version by June next year.
Archive:
http://list.railslibraries.info/pipermail/swanboard/
All board members on the list are unmoderated, which means if you reply-all to the list it will go through to everyone. Ginny, Dawne, and I are on the list-no other SWAN staff receive these emails.
Best,
Aaron

Hi SWAN Board Reps,
The election ended Friday, May 15th at 5 p.m. The election had 46 libraries participate. The results for the 2 seats are the following:
Ted Bodewes 28 votes
Jesse Blazek 25 votes
Jennifer Cottrill 37 votes
I contacted both Jesse and Jennifer. I have a 2 p.m. call with Jennifer to discuss the SWAN Board meeting schedule and how we are running these meetings now online. Ted and I conferred on Friday after the election closed.
Jesse was very complementary of Ted and Jennifer. I would like him to be considered for any future committee work, e.g. Governance Study Committee, etc.
