LOIS SWAN JONES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AWARD

 

ARLIS Texas Mexico members voted at this year's business meeting in Houston to fund one award at $500 to assist travel to the 2011 2nd joint conference of the Visual Resources Association(VRA) and the ARLIS/NA in Minneapolis, Minnesota, March 24-28, 2011.

 

The Lois Swan Jones Award honors Professor Jones, Emerita at the University of North Texas, by underwriting participation of Texas-Mexico chapter members at the national meeting. While first-time conference attendees are especially encouraged, the award committee urges everyone with interest and need to apply. The primary criteria is that applicants not have full institutional funding. Previous winners are eligible. A description of the award and procedures for applying, are on the Lois Swan Jones Award page. There is also a Past Winners page on the chapter Web site.

 

The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday February 4, 2011. The award winner will be announced on Friday February 11, 2011. Questions or concerns should be forwarded to Award committee members: Merriann Bidgood, Edward Lukasek, Karen Sigler or Tara Spies Smith. Conference program and registration information is posted on the ARLIS/NA Web site (http://www.vra-arlis2011.org/).
