[Lswtalk] RE: [Public] 2013 Spring Admin Conference

[Rebecca Hamilton]

We are way ahead of you Erin, great minds think alike. I am lining up
someone from Blue Cross/Blue Shield who is "in the know" about this and
who is willing to do some training for us at no cost. 

Do you think it can wait until fall admin? I have someone who can do it
but he has a full schedule all the way to September. Or do we need to do
it sooner? Meg?

Rebecca & Meg :
I'm so pleased to see the Spring Admin Conference return! Thanks for
this update.

After today's Libraries Southwest meeting, several of us were discussing
how difficult it is to know exactly how "ObamaCare" is going to impact
our library administrations ... a few surprises have already cropped up!
A few of us are very concerned and wondering if there is some
professional (lawyer? Commissioner Donelon's office?) we could invite to
present a workshop to a group of public library administrators (also
invite police jury admin. for those libraries that have insurance
through their PJ).

Is this a topic we can have presented at the fall Admin Conference?  If
not, I'd still appreciate your recommendations so that I might pursue
arranging a regional workshop in SWLA.

Thank you,

Erin N Chesnutt, MLIS
Director
Beauregard Parish Library
