Hello Member Libraries: In the midst of the migration excitement, we wanted to provide a quick update on the Board election process now that the self-nomination window has ended, per SWAN by-laws. We received nominations and Statement of Interests from the following candidates for your consideration in the upcoming election: Amy Crump, Homewood Public Library; Jim Deiters, Oak Lawn Public Library; Anne Kozak, Thomas Ford Memorial Library; Dan Powers, Lyons Public Library; and Stacy Wittmann, Eisenhower Public Library District. Our election will officially open for voting on Monday, May 4th. I will send out a SWANcom once polls are open. They will remain open until Friday, May 22nd at 5pm CST. The results will be announced at our June 4th Quarterly meeting. The new board members will begin serving their term on July 1st.
