CEO/Executive Director
OhioNet
Nancy S. Kirkpatrick, JD, MS is the Executive Director and CEO of OhioNet, a multitype library consortium representing a diverse membership throughout Ohio and the region. She practiced non-profit law and advocacy before entering the library space, where she has over a decade of experience. An ALA Spectrum Scholar, she holds an MS in Library and Information Science from the iSchool (formerly GSLIS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a JD from the TC Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond, and a BA in Journalism from Drake University.
She gets really excited talking about many aspects of leadership – including leading consciously, collaboratively, and creating organizations where people love to work. She is certified in Human Centered Design and Creating Workplace Wellbeing, and is currently completing Facilitator certifications in Appreciative Inquiry and Conversations Worth Having. She’s interested in applying these concepts to work in libraries and related industries. Nancy also enjoys writing, and you can find her most recent work in a series of short pieces on the OhioNet blog called the Director's Desk (https://www.ohionet.org/blog/category/directors-desk).
