| LYRASIS has recently announced its merger with DuraSpace. This will afford the existing LYRASIS membership the opportunity to work with a broader, global community. From the Board perspective, candidates that have a background that consists of non-US/global experience, a keen interest in community supported programs, or expertise in the area of doing business as a non-profit in the communities LYRASIS serves, will be welcomed. |
