The Fort Vancouver Regional Library District Board of Trustees invites the public to casual “meet and greet” events around the district that will provide an opportunity to interact with the three finalists for the position of FVRL executive director.
The three candidates, whose identities and backgrounds were released Aug. 4, will all be present at each of three events:
• Mon., Aug. 10, 6-7:30 p.m., at the Vancouver Community Library, Columbia Room, Level 1, 901 C St., Vancouver
• Tue., Aug. 11, 6-7:30 p.m., at Three Creeks Community Library, Community Room, 800-C NE Tenney Rd., Vancouver
Attendees may fill out comment forms at the events about the candidates, for use by the board in their final selection. The executive director position is open due to the pending retirement of Nancy Tessman, who has been FVRL executive director since July 2012. Questions about the candidate events may be directed at the library district at (360) 906-5000.
