Your Library's Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the 21st Century
Guest Speaker: Anita Duckor, President of Duckor & Associates, Inc.
“Anita’s leadership helped transform the Minneapolis Public Library standing in the community and with all stakeholders. Anita’s professional background in strategic planning and change management contributed enormously to the Board’s and the Library’s success in meeting our many challenges. She led the Trustees in a strategic planning process in 2006 resulting in long-term sustainable financial solution – resulting in a consolidation with Hennepin County Library. Throughout many tough times, Anita’s positive attitude and can-do spirit buoyed everyone around her.”
~ Kit Hadley, former Director of the Minneapolis Public Library (2002-2007)
