Recruiting and Engaging Friends and Trustees Under Age 40 (Trustee Training Week webinar)

Register here

Millennials are more likely than other adults to have visited the library recently. However, most Friends and Trustee boards do not have even a single Millennial member (Pew 2016, ALA 2018). What accounts for this discrepancy, and how can we rectify it? Learn how to attract Millennials to your Friends group and Board of Trustees, and turn the largest generation of library users into your best advocates.


You & your library's trustees are invited to attend any or all 5 of these webinars during Wisconsin Trustee Training Week, August 24 - 28, 2020. All presentations start at 12:00 noon, and last 60 minutes. The webinars will be recorded.
