<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Circling back to the discussion at this week's board meeting regarding funds to support an in-person retreat for strategic planning, do you think it might be worth submitting a proposal to see if we could get funding through the Open Infrastructure Fund? If our application were successful, we could support travel costs for all participants and possibly revisit the question of a consultant. I know there was a thought it would be difficult to find a consultant that would understand our niche needs, but there are consultants out there that work with open source communities, and I'm confident the Board could explain the specific uniqueness that comes from a library-supported project. </div><div><br></div><div>Strengthening Community Governance is one of their focus areas:</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><ul><li>Organizing community workshops to discuss governance needs and (re)design governance structures.</li></ul><ul><li>Convene a dedicated committee/working group of key stakeholders to lead work on diversifying governance.</li></ul><ul><li>Work on improving governance processes, e.g. reviewing and evolving bylaws and other policies.</li></ul></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The deadline is just around the corner, but I would be happy to work with somebody on the Strategic Planning Committee/Board to pull something together if you think it's worth a shot.</div><div><br></div><div>Kathy</div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>--</div>Kathy Lussier<div>she/her<br><div>Executive Director</div><div>NOBLE: North of Boston Library Exchange</div><div>Danvers, MA</div><div>978-777-8844 x201</div><div><a href="http://www.noblenet.org" target="_blank">www.noblenet.org</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Kathy Lussier</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:kmlussier@gmail.com" target="_blank">kmlussier@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Sat, Jul 22, 2023 at 12:30 PM<br>Subject: Fwd: News from Invest in Open Infrastructure - July 2023<br>To: <<a href="mailto:klussier@noblenet.org" target="_blank">klussier@noblenet.org</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Invest in Open Infrastructure</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:noreply%2Binvestinopen@notification.civimail.org" target="_blank">noreply+investinopen@notification.civimail.org</a>></span><br>Date: Fri, Jul 21, 2023 at 12:45 PM<br>Subject: News from Invest in Open Infrastructure - July 2023<br>To: Kathy Lussier <<a href="mailto:kmlussier@gmail.com" target="_blank">kmlussier@gmail.com</a>><br></div><br><br><div><u></u>
