SWAN Board, Attached you will find my letter of resignation. I did not want to spring this on any of you (tried to reach you on the phone) and I wanted to be present at the special meeting for this but am unable to because I will still be at ALA. I felt it was necessary to give before the special board meeting because the board will be starting to make decisions at that meeting. The letter explains my reasons for resigning. I am not going anywhere and you will still have a huge supporter and ambassador. I will be at the next Committee of the Whole meeting. I may also crash the lunch with the SWAN staff if Aaron and Brande will let me. -Melissa Melissa Gardner Executive Director Broadview Public Library District 2226 S. 16th Ave. * Broadview, IL 60155 (708)345-1325 x20 * Fax: (708) 345-0302 Cell: (773) 807-0619 www.broadviewlibrary.org<http://www.broadviewlibrary.org/>
