The following article is taken directly from the Fall 2019 WLA Newsletter.

​NFLS is very proud to announce that one of our own has been awarded the Wisconsin Library Association Trustee of the Year Award! Following is an excerpt from the WLA press release:

WLA Trustee of the Year: Kathy Pletcher 
 
Kathy Pletcher has consistently been a strong advocate for all types of libraries and serves on the Brown County Library Board and Nicolet Federated Library System Board. She also recently completed her term on the Council on Library and Network Development (COLAND). Building upon her years as a professional librarian, she has become a model trustee and now provides training for new trustees around the state. Through her mentoring work, she has contributed to a new generation of advocates dedicated to supporting libraries. Kathy’s visionary work has statewide impact and she is deserving of the 2019 Trustee of the Year Award.
 
There will be a reception for Kathy, and other award winners, at the upcoming WLA annual conference in October.  Please join us in celebrating Kathy at the reception if you are able.
