The next All Directors Meeting is Thursday, November 17, 2022, at the Waunakee Public Library. The agenda for the meeting will be coming out in early November. The meeting will be available both in person and via Zoom. If attending in person, please register here and indicate if you'll stay for lunch (Taco Buffet from Cranberry Creek). If attending virtually, please register via Zoom.
The afternoon part of the November All Directors Meeting is a Continuing Education Workshop. This year, Rachel Arndt, will be presenting Rebound & Reconnect: Post-Crisis Management Strategies. Here's the description for you:
When crisis management ends, what comes next? Library directors are managing a return to “normalcy” after a long cycle of fast-paced change. Approaching business as usual may not result in the same benchmarks of success. This workshop will provide tools and strategies for rebuilding the connections vital to a library’s success. Participants will examine self-management tools, learn approaches to renew relationships with staff and patrons and identify prospective community partners.
Rachel Arndt has worked in public libraries for over a decade in front-line reference, archives, technical services, management, and library administration. As a library consultant, Rachel shares her knowledge and expertise to support the library community. She works from the belief that lifelong learning isn’t just for patrons; a successful practitioner continues to adapt and evolve over their career. Through Rachel Arndt Consulting LLC she delivers holistic and customized professional development to all types of library workers.
In addition to library directors, library managers and supervisors are invited to attend. Please register for the workshop here.
Note: This workshop will be in-person only. Rachel will present an online version on November 29 at 10 a.m.
