Hi SWAN Board,
Here is the current orientation guide that we have for new board members. The "checklist" is attached to the email - this is the agenda of topics to cover during a formal orientation. We can also provide a binder of SWAN documents, or if the new board member prefers a virtual experience, the link below has an 'Orientation Documents' section at the bottom:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/swan-board-committees
The tour and introductions component could either be done at the beginning of a board meeting, or if the new member(s) can come a little early we can do it before. We are also happy to meet with them on a separate occasion.
That is the format as it stands now - any feedback is greatly appreciated! :)

On behalf of Rich Wolff:
Hi All,
The COW agenda will be going out shortly for the meeting on 8/12 and I wanted to remind all of you that Pierre and I will not be at the meeting. Shelia as the Secretary will be running the meeting.
On the agenda you will see listed -"Overview of the White Paper Recommendations of Approved Policies." This discussion should be led by the board with the help of Aaron and the staff as needed. As Pierre stated in an email, , "straight forward. Hopefully we will not have a "let's re-argue the decisions you already made" membership moment..." and I agree. Thorough discussion took place at the July board meeting and we do not have to defend or rehash the discussion. I think each proposal should be presented and the changes that were made from the original proposal should be highlighted.
If you would Aaron, please give the board a copy of the approved policies with the changes from the original proposals noted. I also think it would be nice if the membership received copies of the approved polices for the meeting.
I also think it should be a group presentation from the board, as we all had input into the discussion.
I am sorry I will not be at the meeting, my wife is having a procedure done that day and I need to be there.
Have a good week!
Rich

Hi All,
We will be electing officers tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone had a strong interest in running. I know that David is not interested and if someone will nominate me, I am interested in being president.
Please write back to me (not the group) to let me know your interest or lack there of.
Thanks and see you tomorrow.

SWAN Board Members:
The Friday 7/18 meeting packet is now available for you:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2014-07-18/pa…
The meeting packet is 36 pages long. Included in this packet are SWAN's answers to questions proposed by the membership at the last Committee of the Whole meeting (whitepaper recommendations), after Aaron's report (Exhibits B16-B18). We hope to not go past lunchtime, but will provide lunch if we do.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: The parking lot at Burr Ridge is being resurfaced. For the morning of the board meeting, please park in the lot next door (the building directly before us on the left is allowing us to use their lot - the one that sits right next to our lot). If you have any questions just let us know!
See you Friday,

Hi all,
Attached is the rough rough draft of the comments from today's Whitepaper talk. I will continue to work on the entire minutes throughout the week and hope to have that in the packet for your for approval at next week's Board Meeting. Please note that there were just a few people that did not identify themselves (someone named Andy, a Kim, and a Homewood staff member hiding behind the pole) so if you know the names and/or libraries that they were from, please share! The sign in sheet either does not list them, or is illegible for these folks. And finally, if you have any suggestions of edits or more info to include, please email that to me privately so that I may include it in the final minutes draft.
Thank you!
