Library Board elects Leanne Hanson president and Robin Anderson vice president

The West Fargo Public Library Board made significant strides in leadership during their meeting on July 10, 2025, with the nomination and election of new officers. Leanne Hanson was nominated and unanimously elected as president, a decision that reflects her willingness to serve despite her absence from the meeting. Board members expressed confidence in her capabilities, with one member noting, “I did ask her if she was interested in any of the positions, and she said she was willing to serve in any of the roles.”

Following the presidential election, the board turned its attention to the vice presidency. Tyler, the acting president, nominated Commissioner Robin Anderson for the role, marking a potential shift as this would be the first time a commissioner has held an officer position on the board. The board quickly moved to a vote, and Anderson was also elected unanimously.

The meeting highlighted a smooth transition in leadership, with all members participating actively in the nomination process. The board is now set to continue its work under the new leadership, with the next step being the election of a treasurer. This meeting not only solidified the board's leadership structure but also opened the door for potential changes in how positions are filled in the future.
