Meet the Boards at Harney County Library

There are two boards that serve our library: Advisory Board and Library Foundation Board. Although they have different purposes, their main focus is support of our library.

The Advisory Board has 7 members: Barbara Skillman, Karen Hendrickson, Ramona Revak, Doug Furr, Kate Cunningham, Arthel Kline and Patty Dorroh, county commissioner. Primary responsibilities include proposing governance policies to the County Court for approval, approving an annual budget for the library, offering advice and community input regarding the operation of the library. They meet the last Tuesday of the month at 4:30 pm; meetings are open to the public. 

Harney County Library Foundation Board is currently composed of 4 members: Fred Flippence, Myndi Hemphill, Mike Laiosa and Jean Seeley. This 501(c)3 nonprofit board manages the Claire McGill Luce endowment, fundraises and accepts donations, grants and gifts for support of the library. They meet the third Tuesday of the month at 5 pm; meetings are open to the public.
We are so grateful to these people for volunteering their time and offering their support for our library.
