Betha Gutsche

During her ten years with a national online library community as the Program Manager, Betha has contributed to the continuing education for library staff through defining competencies (editor-in-chief of Competency Index for the Library Field), developing curriculum, delivering presentations and training both in-person and online, and exploring new strategies in learning.
She led the development of the training curriculum for Project Compass, which helped expand the capacity of libraries throughout the U.S. to support economic recovery in their communities.

Betha's all-time favorite music is Beethoven's sonatas for cello and piano. She and her husband love to go on semi-long bike rides, and she thoroughly enjoys her summer bike commute.
