The LACONI Trustee Banquet returns to the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association in Oak Park. Join LACONI SAAM as we unite community leaders, donors, and supporters to celebrate our organization's achievements. Help us further our mission of providing ongoing education for library professionals at all levels, as well as networking opportunities for library trustees.
This year, our keynote address will focus on strategic planning, with several speakers sharing their experiences using a consultant and doing it in-house. We recognize the crucial role that both elected and appointed public library trustees play in shaping our communities. In Illinois, libraries are vital hubs for information, education, and resources, promoting lifelong learning and fostering community connections. Our annual banquet provides an opportunity to acknowledge the advocates of these initiatives and their commitment to enhancing the lives of residents throughout Illinois.
Enjoy a cocktail hour and networking, followed by dinner and keynote. Make your meal selection at the time of purchase.
