SWAN Board,

The agenda is posted for the Strategic Planning Committee meeting this Thursday at SWAN HQ’s conference room at 9:30 a.m.

We have set two dates for the “town hall” meetings (what CWR called them), 8/1 and 8/2. Curtis is fine with our suggestion of increasing to 12 from 5 library directors interviewed by phone, and lowering the original 15 external environmental scan interviews to 8 interviews. This would be 20 total phone interviews, plus 15 in-person with board and staff, and two town hall meetings. I think this worked out nicely!

I have attached two handouts from the last SWAN Board meeting. If you have any thoughts or suggestions for library director stakeholder interviews or external environmental scan interviews, feel free to share them with either me, Julie, Jamie, or Ted. The map is a PowerPoint with the pins that can be moved around and placed on the various SWAN libraries. As you can see, the north side is well represented. It is the west and south suburban areas that could, geographically speaking, have some representation. Plus, from the SWAN fees spreadsheet attached, we need some representation from the lower to middle fee range.

Please let Brande or I know if you need anything for your upcoming interviews on 7/31, 8/1, and 8/2.

~A.
