Proposed Changes to the SWAN Bylaws Will Be Voted on This September at the Quarterly Meeting

 

SWAN Bylaws undergo periodic review by the SWAN Bylaws Committee, a group comprised of SWAN Board members. They have completed a review of the bylaws and are presenting their recommendations for revision. These proposed changes will be voted upon by the SWAN member library directors at the September 7, 2017 SWAN Quarterly meeting (to be held at Wood Dale Public Library District from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.).

The links below are to PDFs of a memo and the proposed bylaws. The memo summarizes the changes and approach of the SWAN Bylaws Committee.
