<div>Nannette,</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">We do not have a policy or procedure for this. In my opinion, you shouldn't have one for a Board Member receiving a complaint. However, what is important is what happens after the Board Member receives a complaint.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Ideally, the Board Member would contact you directly and speak regarding the complaint. This is an opportunity for you to become aware of the complaint and provide your details surrounding the incident or lack thereof.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">If the Board member decides to bring it up during a meeting you should have by-laws regarding how that is handled (agenda item etc.). You may also have the option of requesting it be discussed in closed/executive session as it
pertains to your work performance.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">The member may choose neither and bring it up at your next annual review. This is not ideal as you will not necessarily know about it and won't be able to address it in a timely fashion.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Bottom line, I encourage all my Board members to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns that they may have.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Good luck,</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Dave<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is your policy and/or procedure if a patron calls a library board member with a complaint about the director? While it shouldn't make any difference as far as policy goes, this is a small town and everyone knows everyone. </div>

<div>As always, thank you for sharing your collective wisdom!</div>
