A CHANGE AT ELECTRONICALLY YOURS

 

After six years of doing business outreach and more than four years as editor of Electronically Yours, I have accepted a new position at the Schaumburg Township District Library. I will be moving to the Adult Services department and concentrating on in-house library activities. This means I will no longer be editing this e-letter, and this activity will fall to the new Corporate and Small Business Liaison, who will be named shortly. 

 

It has been my pleasure to working with all of you to establish and maintain communications between the library and the local business community. I'll still be around, and you can contact me via my email address, which will not change. I wish you all continued success. 

 

BUSINESS PROGRAMS 

 

Standards of Excellence for Nonprofits
