Wondering if any directors have an employee contract with their board. If you do, would you please share a copy of it with me? vmeyerson@petoskeylibrary.org<mailto:vmeyerson@petoskeylibrary.org> Thank you. _________________________________________________________________________________ Valerie Meyerson, Library Director Petoskey District Library 231.758.3120 Please think about the environment before printing this message.

This has always been very confusing for me. I have always been an "At Will" employee and have never had a contract, but thought there should be something spelling out benefits, etc. besides the Personnel Policy. Val, will you please share responses with me? I would like to know what other libraries do about director contracts. Thanks!

I had a contract in a previous director job. It was very simple, will work for the following period of time for the following salary. It was renewed once a year at my evaluation and was always renewed for two years. Any benefits or other things that were different from the library's standard benefit package were covered in a separate memorandum of understanding at the time of hire. Superintendent contracts are common, might be a place to search for examples. Connie On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 10:34 AM, Nannette Miller <erlib.director@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello! Below are a couple of samples I was able to locate. One is a letter of offer (which is essentially a basic contract), and one is a more traditional contract I found on MLive. http://www.cosla.org/documents/SampleOfferLetter1.docx http://media.mlive.com/news/baycity_impact/other/Trish's%20Signed%20Contract.pdf Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance!
