@indydocumenters @mirrorindy The primary responsibility of the Board of Trustees Committees is to provide governance and policy reviews in the areas of finance; diversity, policy, and human resources; and facilities, which I will describe in the next few posts.

@indydocumenters @mirrorindy The Finance Committee works to determine the scope of appropriations for Library programs and services, facility maintenance and new construction, as well as providing oversight in the appropriate administration of public tax monies.

@indydocumenters @mirrorindy The Diversity, Policy, and Human Resources Committee reviews Library policies to assure compliance with accepted operating procedures and employment practices. They also provide oversight in the establishment of a diverse and competent staff throughout the Library system.

@indydocumenters @mirrorindy The Facilities Committee reviews plans and proposals related to the construction, maintenance, and security of Library facilities and properties, furnishings, vehicles, collection delivery system, computers, and technology infrastructure.
