The Altadena Library District today announced that its Board of Trustees has appointed Nikki Winslow to District Director, effective November 4, 2019.
Winslow’s appointment followed an extensive, nationwide search launched by the District’s Board of Trustees in March 2019 with the hiring of executive search firm William Avery & Associates. Using feedback collected from staff and members of the community about their desired qualities for the new Director, the Board of Trustees narrowed down candidates and conducted final interviews in closed session at the August Board meeting.
President of the Board of Trustees, Terry Andrues, said:
We are very pleased to have come to an agreement with Nikki Winslow as the new Director of the Altadena Library District.
We conducted an exhaustive search and found her to be an excellent candidate; we are fortunate to have her. We look forward to years of service with Ms. Winslow at the helm of our dynamic library district.
