Each year the ARLIS/NA-TC Chapter offers a travel award to its members. This award is to encourage professional development by supporting a member to attend the ARLIS/NA annual conference. This year the ARLIS/NA-TC chapter will be offering a $300 travel award for the 41st Annual Conference in Pasadena, California, April 25-29, 2013.
Eligibility
Applicants for the award must be current ARLIS/NA and ARLIS/NA-TC members. Only applicants who receive partial or no institutional funding toward the cost of attending the ARLIS/NA conference are eligible. Preference is given to chapter officers, conference speakers and moderators, ARLIS/NA committee members, and first-time attendees. A person who receives an award will not be eligible to apply for another award until after 3 years.
Application Procedure and Deadline
Applicants must submit a letter of application (via e-mail) to the members of the Travel Award Committee. The letter should include a statement of qualifications, the amount of expected institutional funding, proposed conference program involvement, and expected benefits or outcomes. The deadline for applications for the 2013 Travel Award is February 14, 2013. The winner of the award will be notified by February 21, 2013. Please send letters of application to Christy Dent ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and Jessica McIntyre ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
Administration of the Award
Christy and Jessica will serve on the Travel Award Committee for 2013. They will review all applications and select a winner. The winner will be informed and asked for acceptance or refusal in writing. If the first choice award winner declines, an alternative person from the applicant pool will be selected and offered the award. Upon receiving written acceptance of the award, the Secretary/Treasurer will send the winner a check four weeks prior to the start of the conference.
We encourage all members who plan to attend the annual conference to apply.
There's still time to apply for national ARLIS/NA awards too! Awards (in the amount of $1000) are available for members and non-members. Deadline to apply is January 31, 2013. See details here:http://www.arlisna.org/about/awards/awards_index.html
Sincerely,
Christy Dent and Jessica McIntyre
ARLIS/NA-TC Travel Award Committee 2013
