The Texas-Mexico chapter is proud to announce its selection of Janine
Henri as the 2006 recipient of the Lois Swan Jones Professional
Development Award. It is through generous individual donations that the
chapter is able to offer this annual prize in honor of Lois Swan Jones.
The purpose of this award is to support and encourage the participation
of a Texas-Mexico chapter member by helping defray conference expenses.
This year's award provides $750.00 toward expenses incurred at the
upcoming ARLIS/NA national conference in Banff, Canada.
In keeping with the eligibility criteria of the award, Janine Henri is a
member in good standing of both ARLIS/NA and ARLIS/Texas-Mexico chapter,
and she will only receive partial funding support from her institution.
Janine is committed to actively participate at Banff. She will be
chairing the Membership Committee's business meeting, as well as serving
as a panelist in the ASK ARLIS Session Reaching Out: Chapter Links to
Local Library Schools. Finally, Janine also plans to volunteer her
assistance in the Banff Exhibits Hall as needed, and participate in the
conference's mentoring program.
As a condition of the award, beyond her commitments of conference
involvement, Janine will report on her activities as well as the impact
of this award in the Texas-Mexico chapter eNewsletter, the Medium.
Congratulations to Janine and a special thanks to all of the chapter
members who have contributed to make this award possible this year.
