Dear ARLIS/NA colleagues,
Happy new year!
The ARLIS/NA Applauds Award subcommittee previously sent out a call for nominations for the 2022
ARLIS/NA Applauds Award. This Award honors an individual or a group of up to five persons to recognize an outstanding contribution to the Society’s work during the calendar year. This year’s nomination
deadline is January 17, 2023.
As Applauds is a relatively new award, we know that many ARLIS members have outstanding questions about the nomination form or process. To help support members preparing or considering preparing a nomination, we are pleased to announce
an informal drop-in Q&A session on January 9, 2023 from 3p ET to 4p ET (12p-1p PT).
During this “office hour”, Applauds Award subcommittee members will be available to answer
any questions about the award and process—stop by the Zoom whenever is most convenient for you!
If you plan to drop in, please simply register for the session using this link:

We look forward to chatting with you about your nominations!
With thanks from the 2022 ARLIS/NA Applauds Award Committee,
