SUMMARY:Dealing With Difficult Library Board Members (LibraryWorks Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:The Massachusetts Library System is pleased to announce that we 
 are working with LibraryWorks to provide our members with access to their 
 webinars.  These webinars are free to Massachusetts library workers who 
 register through our calendar. \n\n\n	Please note: To attend these webinars 
 at no cost\, you must register here. If you register directly with 
 LibraryWorks\, your registration will not be paid by MLS. \n	Please help us 
 keep MLS sponsored training free for all members. If you are unable to 
 attend the live webinar\, please cancel your registration. A cancellation 
 link can be found in your confirmation email\, or you may contact Sarah 
 Donnelly at sdonnelly@masslibsystem.org to 
 cancel.\n\n\n\nDescription:\n\nDo you have any "difficult" people on your 
 library's board? Do they try to stymie your efforts\, or even speak out 
 against the library or its staff? Unfortunately\, this happens often when 
 board members don't fully understand library processes or when they bring 
 their own agendas to their positions. Sign up for this webinar to hear 
 stories—and solutions—from someone who's spent many years working with 
 board members.\n\n\n\nFollowing this webinar\, you'll learn the art of 
 dealing with types of troublesome 
 trustees:\n\n\n	Micro-managers\n	Second-guessers\n	Disengaged 
 slackers\n	Know-it-alls\n	Single-issue 
 pushers\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter:\n\n\n\nCathi Alloway served as Director for 
 the Schlow Centre Region Library and as co-Director of the Federation 
 of Centre County Libraries (both in PA) for 10 years. She has over 30 years 
 of public library administration and consulting experience. Cathi has 
 written and presented extensively on library management\, community
