Open Board Position
by Rich Wolff 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hi All, We had four administrators interested in the open board positon last month. They were asked to submit a statement of interest by 12/9/16. As of 12/9/16, only Jamie submitted a statement. Colleen and Kate both took their names out of consideration and Pilar did not send a statement. I have asked Jamie to join us at the board meeting on Friday, where a vote will be taken. We also will be voting on the open position of vice-president. Have a good week and I will see you Friday at our new office! Rich Richard A. Wolff, Administrator Tinley Park Public Library 17851 Timber Drive, Tinley Park, IL. 60477 708-845-5718
