Marx, President and CEO of the New York Public Libraries, delivers the lunchtime keynote. Marx's remarks addressed a variety of the organizational issues facing the New York Public Library system as well as some of the steps he has taken to address them. Among his suggestions is the need to create a culture of sustainable change by involving all relevant stakeholders and to promote change as if his constituents requested it. Marx also stressed the need to be flexible and open to criticism during the change process.
