Amigos Community Conversations: Communicating Value to Library Donors

 Registration is closed for this event
Libraries have often looked to outside sources for growing vital funding to support new services, facilities, and initiatives. Now it is even more important to connect the library story and need to the donors’ interests. Join this conversation and hear from Jeffry Archer, Dean of University Libraries at Baylor University, and Will Merrick, Development Officer at Pioneer Library System, about communicating the value of libraries to donors and funders. Then gather with colleagues to discuss shared experiences and overcome challenges. This is an exclusive, no-charge event for Amigos Library Services members.
