SWAN Board Members: The Friday, April 28th board meeting packet is now available for you: https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2017-04-28/pa… The packet is 62 pages long. This month we will be getting updates on RAILS Consortia Committee, Fees Committee, usability study, and doing our first round of bylaws review as a group. Over the past month, you have sent me your very thorough and detailed bylaws feedback and I've done my best to get a rough rough draft of a redlined document ready for your review together on Friday. However, because many of the comments were suggestions of a more vague nature I simply included a comment or highlight for certain areas. I will walk you through the document in what I hope is the easiest way possible Friday. I did not include this redlined document in the board packet since these notes and changes have not yet been reviewed by you and may very well be struck or changed significantly. Once we get this document where we want it to be we can include it in next month's packet and vote to recommend it for membership review if you feel ready to do so. I am hopeful we'll be concluding by noon so we don't have lunch planned, but if the bylaws review runs over (there are a lot of changes to cover) I will be happy to get a food order placed for us. See you on Friday!
