Ccled~bdcomapp.pto August 1996 L) Experience and/or activities which you feel qualify you for this position. Most of my professional life has been spent working for Boards of Directors. I have also served on many boards, including holding officer positions. I understand the relationship of a board to the Executive Director of an organization very well. In addition this experience has helped me understand the duties and responsibilities of a Director to the organization. I have training in Policy Governance, which provides a framework for Board/Management relationships in non-profit institutions. In my role as chief executive of a growing business I have responsibility for strategic planning, annual budgets and financial forecasts. This experience is helpful in dealing~ with similar issues at the library. What is your present knowledl~e of this advisory board? :< ~_.. zS: ::-~: -- I am just completing a six-year term on the Library Board of Trustees. I have served asc~ President of the Board for two years and as Treasurer for two years. I have also served on the Building Committee of the Board, which has been researching appropriate methods of expanding our facility. I have an excellent working knowledge of the Board and its responsibilities. What contributions do you feel you can make to this advisory board? The library is at a critical point in its expansion planning. I have been actively involved in this issue for the past six years including serving as Co-chair of the Local Options/Local Opportunities committee which advocated the passage of a local option sales tax as a method to fund the library expansion. As I mentioned, I have served on the Building Committee of the board which has dealt with this issue in depth. I am very familiar with both the needs of the library and the difficulties it faces in determining an expansion plan. I would like to see this process brought to a successful conclusion. In addition, libraries across the country are facing critical issues and choices as the method of delivering services and the demands of library patrons change due to new technologies such as the Internet. The Iowa City Public Library is no different. I have served on the past two Strategic Planning Committees for the ICPL. They provided an in-depth review of library operations, our community and trends in library services. This is really interesting and stimulating information. I would welcome the opportunity to continue to play a role in developing policy for our library in the face of societal and technological change. Thank you for you attention in this matter.
