Lead Your Library: Effective Succession Planning for your Organization

Lead Your Library: Practical Management for Public Libraries

Practical Strategic Planning Series


Few libraries and their Boards engage in serious succession planning; not just for the Director, but for critical staff as well.  Is your Library prepared if your Director leaves suddenly? What about your senior staff?

This online workshop will also review the process for selecting a new director who is right for your organization, including job description, search process, community/staff involvement, and interviewing.
