Larry became involved with the Foundation after reading last spring’s Library Trustee Feasibility Report. He and his family have been avid and high-usage members in each of their previous library communities, and now Belmont. Those positive experiences range from literal resources to active participation in community-wide programs and activities those libraries created or hosted. Working professionally with boards and non-profits, Larry understands the importance of mission-centric strategy and long-term planning. Strong engagement of diverse user groups ensures informed thinking about that mission, balanced by realistic financial assessment. For most libraries today, robust private support is a critical partner to determining fundable priorities.
