works well with the Trustees/library board, the staff, local government, and the community. This
March 30 webinar, presented by United for Libraries Executive Director Beth Nawalinski, will cover helping board members understand respective roles, including the difference
between governance and management; onboarding, training, and succession planning; effective communication, and ways to engage the members.

Join us for
Hammer, Vise, Lever: Better Tools, Stronger Advocacy, on Wed., April 5, 3-4:15 p.m. Eastern. Both the stakes and pace of legislative advocacy for libraries have accelerated
in recent years. Relationships with decision makers are foundational to advocacy that yields results, and effective advocates draw on a carefully honed set of tools to nurture those relationships, reach other decision makers, mobilize advocates, and communicate
a unified message.
From software to social media to elbow grease, advocacy experts and practitioners will share tips and tools that
individual advocates and organizations can harness to elevate--or fine tune--their own legislative advocacy.
