The self-nomination period has ended and the slate of candidates for the three seats on the SWAN Board will be the following. Since there are the two candidates who volunteered for the two open seats, SWAN will not have to conduct an election for the 2026 cycle. Congratulations to the three library directors who will be seated July 2026 (please note, the SWAN Board has not approved its meeting schedule for the FY2027 year).
