Northern Lights Library System

This session explores the journey of a board from an operations focus to true governance; including development of a full cycle of oversight and accountability for human, fiscal, and physical resources. Incorporated in the presentation is how fundamentally their plan of service and all board policies and procedures are linked within that structure. Presenters will share numerous forms, templates, operational flow charts and samples with attendees. Documents presented will be provided to the attendees on a USB drive
