[Michlib-l] composition of library board committees

Melissa, We have had excellent success including a staff member as a full voting member of several committees. We have found there are a lot of positives to including staff in the process. A staff member should not serve on a personnel committee or similar due to its sensitivity, but no concern here about the others you mentioned or others that we have, including strategic planning. - dp -- Dale Parus, Director Harper Woods Public Library Michigan's First Green Library TM LEED® Silver 19601 Harper Avenue Harper Woods, MI 48225 (313) 343-2575 http://www.harperwoodslibrary.org A Suburban Library Cooperative Member ########### *Detroit Suburban Librarians RoundTable* *Co-chair, 2012 - 2014* ###########
