Hello Trustee Alliance Friends, The next FOML Trustee Alliance workshop is called *"**Knowledge is Power: What Trustees Need to Know about Library Governance**"* and it's coming up on *Friday, April 15, 2016* at the *Hoyt Library in Saginaw!* We have special guest speaker *Josie Parker* and her topics include: - "The Power and Limitations of Library Trustees: What's Being a Trustee All About?" - "Knowledge Is Power: Lessons Learned About Trustee Governance" - "Talk About Trustees: What Knowledge About Governing Your Library Can You Share?" - "Knowledge Is Power: Lessons Learned and Knowledge Gained from Today's Workshop" FOML Trustee Alliance workshops are a great time to network with other Trustee groups, tour the *Hoyt Library*, and spend a day learning how to support your library!
