Annual Meeting and Director Election Bulletin!
The Friends of the Anacortes Public Library are having their annual meeting on November 14. At that meeting, which will start at 3:30 pm, the Friends will be voting on ratifying a new set of bylaws which will change our governance style, and on reviewing 2020 budgetary questions, and most importantly, voting on a slate of candidates who have agreed to sit on the Friends Board for 2020. If you are a current member of the Friends, you will have received a ballot in the mail in the past week. A click here will allow you to view the complete biographies of each of the candidates standing for a position on the Board. If you did not receive a ballot, please contact the membership chair, Linda Falken, at lfalken@whidbey.com, or come to the annual meeting on November 14th and cast your ballot at the meeting. All ballots have a return address on them, so if you cannot attend, please mail back your ballot.
The ballot lists 8 names - and is not an either/or choice. ALL of these candidates have agreed to serve on the 2020 Board of Directors. So to endorse this list, please mark your member's ballot and return it. Members can vote for all of the candidates, some of the candidates or none of them if you have questions, or want more information. However, our nominations committee is hoping that our members will welcome this fine slate of candidates, individuals who have all agreed to serve and who are interested
in helping our group move forward into 2020 and beyond.
