Departures & Arrivals: Transitions and Succession Planning (Trustee Training Week webinar)

Register here

Trustees will learn how to successfully prepare for the departure of a director due to retirement or moving to a new library. 

We will cover what the current director and board must put in place prior to the placement of a new director and discuss the role of  trustees in successfully onboarding a new director and the transition of them into their new role. We will provide a checklist of items to prepare for new library directors that will be supplied after the presentation.
