The new library director's contact list

Our suburban library has a new library director starting soon. If I had a say, I would recommend that the following contacts are added to her email/telephone list at the top, in order that these folks be contacted first with a self introduction. Why? I think the role of our library director, beyond day to day operations, is to position the library to take advantage of opportunities made available to better our library, its patrons, and the district.

1. Contacts at local large companies. We have 2 Fortune 500 companies based in our small suburb. I would like to see the corporate giving person as well as the librarians for these companies on speed dial. I see the opportunity for collaboration to better the district with these folks.
2. Head of Chamber of Commerce
3. Heads of other local business and charitable groups, including Kiwanis and Rotary.
4. Mayor and village manager of our village.
5. School principals for all local public and private schools.
6. Library heads at local university and at local arboretum.
7. Library or administrative contacts at other local colleges and trade schools (there are more than 4).
8. County tax officials (always need to check on taxes)
9. Protective services - chief of police and fire chief
10. Contacts at largest vendors - architect, outside maintenance, janitorial, printer, ...
11. Local press - not so many left, but include Patch
12. Partner organization heads - Friends group and Foundation
13. Influential local groups - e.g. Womens Club
14. Directors of every neighboring library
15. Local TEDx organization leader, other local lecture organizations
16. Insurance contacts
17. Managers of local real estate management companies with available retail space
18. Hotel managers (space availability, program tie-ins, audience for programs)
19. Local visitors bureau
20. Local Realtors organization
21. Operators of local venues for our programs or joint programs (schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, ...)

Many of these people could be sources of funds for the library or for programs. Some can provide space for programs, or content or audience. I would like to think that the library director will be ready to find any opportunities that come up with these people and organizations. I would want to see relationships created with the people so that the library is considered when opportunities come up. I would like to have the library have the attitude of "Let's make a deal".
