What a GREAT quarterly member meeting we had today!

Our special guests gave a wonderful presentation and held a panel discussion on the vital role of nonprofit and philanthropy partnerships in disaster response and recovery, such a near and dear topic given all the disaster events that have occurred in the southeast region recently.

Thanks to all who participated in-person and online, and a special thanks to the Mississippi Library Commission for use of your meeting space and staff for all their support before, during and after the meeting!
