Nominating Committee 2. Budget Report 3. Report of the Travel Award Committee 4. Chapter Communications/Promotion 4. 1997 Fall Meeting Travel Awards Draft Proposal At the Fall 1997 Chapter Meeting in Akron, Ohio, a committee of Kay Downey, Astrid Otey and Betsy Lantz, was formed to draft a proposal for the institution of a Chapter Travel Award. The following is a list of recommendations submitted by the committee to the members for discussion at the Spring 1997 meeting. The committee would like to present a final draft to the ARLIS/NA Board and then to the members for a vote at the Fall 1997 meeting. 1. The Travel Awards Committee recommends that the ARLIS/Ohio Valley Chapter institute a Travel Award to be made available to Chapter members in order to assist with the expense of attending Chapter meetings. It is our intent that we offer one award for each meeting during the year, one for the Spring meeting and one for the Fall meeting. The amount of the award is yet to be determined (between $100.00 and $200.00). 2. The Committee recommends that the Travel Award be granted based on the following considerations: financial need, level of Chapter participation, ARLIS/NA affiliation, first time attendee, contribution to the meeting. 3. We recommend that the Travel Award application include a resume and a letter stating how the applicant expects to benefit from attending the meeting, as well as a statement indicating what institutional support is available to them. We would stipulate that the number of times an individual may be granted the award be limited to once in a given amount of time (possible three to five years). 4. The Committee recommends that Awards be presented at the meeting and that the recipient submit a short bio and institutional profile for subsequent Collage publication. 5. We recommend that an ongoing travel awards committee be put in place with committee members rotating on a regular basis. The existing travel awards committee has offered to continue through 1998. 6. The Committee would like to offer the first travel award for the Spring 1998 meeting. Initially, we recommend that the first award be funded by means of a temporary increase of member dues, with subsequent awards to be funded by donors.
