A Note from NEO's Executive Director
[http://myneotoday.org/photos/29342_05022016093504.jpg]Last week we announced that the Board of Trustees had lowered the Geographic Member prices for workshops and webinars effective September 20, 2016.  Today I am happy to announce that the Board voted to keep all Gold, Silver, Bronze, Academic, School and Special Library Member dues the same for the 2017-18 fiscal year (FTEs will be recalculated based on the information submitted to the State Library of Ohio).  For those of you that need to start planning your budget for next year, we will be mailing out the Letters of Intent by the end of October.  Each Letter will be accompanied by our 2015-16 Annual Report and a Membership Benefits Packet.  I hope that you will take the time to look over the information.  We are constantly working to offer our Gold, Silver and Bronze Members the best possible value for your dues and we will be adding FREE live and archived webinars to the Silver Member level and FREE archived webinars to the Bronze Member level.  In addition, some of our fees for services will be changing and Gold Members will receive 4 FREE hours of consulting.  We thank all of our members for your support.  If you need your Letter of Intent prior to the end of October for planning purposes, please contact me at betsy.lantz at neo-rls.org<mailto:betsy.lantz at neo-rls.org>.

  *        Fundamental communications principles
  *        The impact of infrastructure on communication practices
  *        Team-based communications
