----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear ARLIS/NA Colleagues: The Delaware Valley Chapter is thinking of setting up a travel award to honor Marietta Bushnell Boyer, our late colleague . I have volunteered to gather information from other chapters which have travel awards, and would appreciate your help. Would someone from any chapter sponsoring such an award share with me information about eligibility for the award, amount of award, frequency of award,how decisions about winners are arrived at, when and how funds are distributed to winners, requirements for reporting use of award, etc. Is the award funded by chapter members' dues? by special "taxation" of members, by a separate investment fund? In fact, anything which you think is pertinent would be welcome information. Please respond to me directly off the list. If others are interested in the responses, I'll be glad to summarize and share on the list. Thank you all for your help.
