Presenters Carolyn Bennett Glauda, Southeastern New York Library Resources Council, and Joanna Goldfarb & Jen Park, Ramapo Catskill Library System, encourage any library staff, directors, and trustees to attend a session regarding committee leadership. This training is appropriate for anyone who is new to a leadership position in a committee, would like to learn more about how to effectively run meetings, or who is interested in assuming a leadership position in the future.

Attendees will “walk away” with the following learning objectives:

• Construct an effective meeting
• Decide what structure will meet the meeting’s needs (will this meeting require Robert’s Rules?)
• Empower all meeting attendees to participate
• Communicate effectively with a large group
• Value the attendees’ time
• Stay on task, tactfully conclude off-topic discussions, and end meetings in a timely manner

This workshop will take place via Zoom. Log-in information will be sent to registrants the morning of the program. Attendees will receive 1 CEU.
