> Dear Membership, > As we approach our 35th annual conference in Atlanta, we want to > highlight an essential, but often under recognized part of each and > every ARLIS/NA conference - our sponsors. Without their > contributions, much of what ARLIS represents would be diminished. > For example, each year our sponsors support our professional > development by underwriting sessions, workshops and tours. They > encourage diversity by funding awards for those who otherwise might > not be able to attend. They support scholarship by providing awards > that recognize new perspectives in the profession. Finally, they > foster networking and Society-wide communication through events such > as the Leadership Breakfast, various coffees, and of course our > Convocation reception. > This year is no different. Through the generosity of our many > sponsors, the Development Committee has reached 95% of its fundraising > goal for the conference. Please take a moment to view the list of > sponsors on the Atlanta conference website > http://www.arlis-se.org/atlanta2007/ExhibitsSponsors_SponsorList.htm > and be sure to express your personal gratitude when you see a > representative of any of these corporations or non-profits in Atlanta. > Sincerely, > > ARLIS/NA Development Committee > Jon Evans, Chair > Kim Collins, Atlanta Development Coordinator > Amanda Bowen > Susan Flanagan > Ted Goodman > Allen Townsend, Consultant > Fran Scott, Treasurer > Ann Whiteside, President > __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
