Thanks to the generosity of many of our colleagues, there is a substantive amount of money available to bring in speakers with an "Alternative Voice" for next year's conference in Indianapolis. If you know of and would like to suggest a wonderful speaker who could bring a new perspective to our 2009 gathering, or if you are proposing a session that includes alternative voices, please don't hesitate to apply for this funding. To fill out the Alternative Voices Fund application please click on this link for an online submission form: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=wzArCb95P9aF_2fgNginLBog_3d_3d About the Alternative voices Speakers Fund The purpose of the Alternative Voices Speakers Fund is to bring a diversity of voices to the ARLIS/NA annual conferences by encouraging the participation of non-ARLIS/NA speakers from traditionally underrepresented racial or ethnic groups. The fund supports attendance costs and a small honorarium. Attendance costs may include travel, hotel, and meal expenses. Eligibility: Non-ARLIS/NA members who self-identify with one or more traditionally underrepresented racial or ethnic groups, and whose names have been proposed to participate as conference speakers by session organizers or Conference Program Chairs. Selection Process: Fund recipients will be selected annually by the Alternative Voices Speakers Fund Committee. The committee is charged with reviewing all proposals identified on the session proposal form as suitable for consideration. Additionally, the Committee may also consider other session proposals that have not been explicitly identified on the form, if they feel they are eligible for consideration. Proposals must be submitted as part of the regular conference session proposal process to the Conference Program Chairs. A separate form for this award shall be completed by the proposer, identifying the names of the proposed speakers, their eligibility, amount of institutional support, if any, and anticipated expenditures for attendance. All proposers will be alerted by the committee no later than four months prior to the conference as to the status of their submission. Following this, award recipients will be notified by the proposer and upon and the recipient's acceptance, receipts will be recognized via ARLIS/NA website, and included in any printed or online conference programming information.
