The LACONI Trustee Banquet is an event that unites community leaders, donors, and supporters to celebrate our organization's achievements and further our mission of providing ongoing education for library professionals at all levels, as well as networking opportunities for library trustees.
This year, our keynote address will focus on strategic planning, with several speakers sharing their experiences using a consultant and doing it in-house. We recognize the crucial role that both elected and appointed public library trustees play in shaping our communities. In Illinois, libraries are vital hubs for information, education, and resources, promoting lifelong learning and fostering community connections. Our annual banquet provides an opportunity to acknowledge the advocates of these initiatives and their commitment to enhancing the lives of residents throughout Illinois.
