Where, how long, and what Board?
Bozeman Public Library Board of Trustees, 2019 - present
* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
I currently serve on the Board filling the role of chairperson, am approaching the end of my five-year term, and would like to be considered for re-appointment to a second
term. My qualifications include earning masters and doctoral degrees in library and information science (1970 and 2007), work experience in libraries (Youngstown State
Univ., 1972 - 1974; Agere Systems, 2000 - 2004), and most recently, as a volunteer in the technical services dept. of the Bozeman Public Lib. (2012 - 2019).
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
Despite all the controversy associated with DEI at the present time, the idea of having governmental agencies and boards be representative of the communities which they
serve is still a valid and worthwhile guiding principle, and one to which I work to achieve. While working at Rutgers University, I submitted and had approved by the National
Science Foundation a grant request for funding for scholarships for female STEM students, demonstrating, I hope, actually doing something about DEI.
