ART LIBRARIES SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA REQUESTS FOR SPECIAL PROJECT FUNDING To: Chapter Officers From: Fran Scott, ARLIS/NA Treasurer [log in to unmask] Deadline: September 28, 2007 Prior to the 2007 Midyear Executive Board meeting, I will be preparing the draft budget for ARLIS/NA fiscal year 2008 (January 1 - December 31). It will include an amount for funding special projects for chapters. If your chapter will have extraordinary expenses for projects, publications, events, etc. during FY2008, requests for funding must be received by September 28. These requests do NOT include funding for national conference activities or sessions, or for ongoing chapter operational expenses. The Board recommends that you discuss potential projects with your membership and with your Board liaison prior to September 28 so that ideas can be reviewed by the Board at its Midyear meeting. Special Project Funding is limited. Even if approved in principle, the Board may decide to fund a portion of a given special funding project. Consult the "Special Funding Guidelines" on the ARLIS Web Site for further details. http://www.arlisna.org/arlismembers/funding_chapters.html Please submit a completed application form (found on the web site or below) and send via email to [log in to unmask] by September 28. If you anticipate a change in leadership in your chapter, please make certain to notify your successor of your request and the documents that accompany it. All group and chapter contacts will be notified of the outcome of their proposal once the ARLIS/NA Board has discussed it in the fall. We look forward to receiving your proposals. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
