This travel award was established in honor and recognition of Art Librarian Winberta Yao, a co-founder and the first president of ARLIS/AZ (Arizona). Winberta Yao worked at Arizona State University from 1975-1997, although her interest in forming a chapter of ARLIS began earlier, while she was working at the Phoenix Art Museum. ARLIS/AZ, established in 1975, became ARLIS/MW (Mountain West), when the states of Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming joined the chapter in 1997. Montana joined the chapter in 2003.
Purpose:
To encourage chapter and conference participation by supporting travel expenses for attendance at the ARLIS/NA annual conference or the ARLIS/NA-MW annual conference. If, for any reason, the travel award is not granted for the ARLIS/NA conference, the call for applications will be reposted before the next ARLIS/NA-MW annual meeting.
Award amount:
up to $700.00.
Eligibility:
Current ARLIS/NA-MW and ARLIS/NA member living in the Mountain West region including Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Applicants must receive partial or no institutional funding toward ARLIS conference travel.
