We have a new director and her name is Pam Sandlian Smith. She will be joining us in November. She is currently the Director at the West Palm Beach Public Library but is originally from Denver.
We had the opportunity to meet Pam last month. She joined the administrative team for a meeting and we had about an hour to interact - and that didn’t scare her off! She also presented at a public meeting later that day. I thought she did an excellent job of answering the question about the future direction of libraries and how that could/should affect the Rangeview Library District.
The library used the executive search firm of Gossage Sager Associates. Having experienced a search for a Director both ways now - with and without an executive search firm - I believe that our money was well spent with Gossage Sager and I highly recommend them and would use them again.
