Governance

Duties
The one legal duty of the county appointee is to participate in meetings of the full system board.
This regional library system has one system board meeting annually.
County appointees are also invited and encouraged to attend system workshops, communicate the needs for library service and concerns of residents to the System Director and members of the Executive Board, and advocate for improvement of library services.
Finally, if a county appointee wishes to be more actively involved, they are eligible for election to the Executive Board subject to system bylaws.
Qualifications
The county appointee is a representative of the regional library system taxing district; that is, the area where the regional library system tax is levied. County clerks can determine whether potential appointees fall within this guideline.
Appointment and term of County Appointees
Appointment is made by county commissions. Terms are for four years.
Individual counties may have established procedures for applying for appointment.
In general, a letter of interest and a resume should be submitted. Those interested may also make the director of their local library aware of their interest, as nominations may be solicited from libraries within the county. County clerks should notify regional library systems when appointments to the system board are made.
Communications
County Appointees will have email communication from the System Ddirector, and have access to all website posts, newsletters, and social media communications of each system to help them become and stay well informed about the system.
