ARLIS/DC-MD-VA will present a professional development award of $500 to a chapter member to attend the 2004 Annual ARLIS/NA Conference in New York. This award is intended to help members become more involved in ARLIS/NA at the national level.
An award applicant must have been a member of ARLIS/NA for at least one year, and must be a current, dues-paying member of ARLIS/DC-MD-VA and ARLIS/NA. All ARLIS/DC-MD-VA members are eligible for the award. The chapter's officers, members who have never attended the national conference, and those who will be participating in the conference as speakers, session/program moderators, moderators of a section, division or roundtable, or serving on committees are especially encouraged to apply for the award. The winner will make a report to the chapter membership at a chapter meeting (or through a posting on the chapter web site).
Applicants for the award should submit a letter describing their participation in the conference (if applicable), the benefits anticipated from conference attendance, and a description of all travel funding expected from the applicant's institution or other sources.
