[External Email] Hi and good morning! Did you know that United for Libraries is having a virtual conference this year? It's a pretty quick turnaround for registration (the conference is August 4-6), but it's free for members, $49 for non-members, of $99 for a full board to register (with registration also providing a year's access to the session recordings). It looks to have a lot of good topics, including: Ask, Listen, Plan: Engaged Planning for Trustees, Directors and Other Library Leaders Communication and Dispute Resolution Strategies for Board Problems Integrating Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity into Your Board Culture Working with Friends and Foundations: Playing for the Same Team Funding Equity: Foundations Creating a Platform for Diverse Library Services Advocacy and Equity-How Library Boards Can Create Lasting Impact through Compelling Cases and Outreach If you'd like to check it out for yourself, you can go to: http://www.ala.org/united/events_conferences/virtual/schedule [United for Libraries | A division of the American Library Association] Jennifer Jennifer Cowan-Henderson Director of Planning and Development Tennessee State Library and Archives Office of Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett 403 7th Avenue North Nashville, TN 37243 p 615-741-1923 f 615-532-9904 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> This electronic mail may be subject to the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn.
