Meeting Materials
Featured Speaker
SEMLS is pleased to announce
that Maureen Sullivan, prominent national
consultant, will be our featured speaker and
facilitator. Maureen will work with us as
we all envision regional services in the restructured
regions. What services are priorities for
you? Your voice is critical now as this planning
goes forward.
Rob Maier, Director of the
MA Board of Library Commissioners, will update
us on the state budget process and on the
planning for the restructuring of the regions.
Maureen will then facilitate a session that
will identify and prioritize essential statewide
services today and will lead us on a discussion
on future trends for libraries and how statewide
services should assist libraries in meeting
these trends.
Many of you have worked with
Maureen in the past. For those who haven’t,
