Friday Deadline for Awards to Support Midwest Chapter Conference Attendance
Of special note to HSLM members - a reminder that the application deadline for the Midwest Chapter Annual Meeting Scholarships and Professional Development Awards is THIS FRIDAY, August 17th!
The awards are a GREAT opportunity for students and HSLM members who have not attended a chapter meeting before. These $500 awards will cover a very good portion of the total cost of attendance, since you don't have to worry about airfare to attend the Chapter Meeting in Rochester.
The Chapter is offering:
* Two Annual Meeting Scholarships ($500 each) to support attendance of students at the chapter's annual meeting.
* Two Professional Development Awards ($500 each) to support first-time attendance of members at the chapter's annual meeting.
See midwestmla.org/committees/awards/ for more information and application forms. The deadline to apply/nominate for the other two awards (the Jean Williams Sayre Innovation Award and the Distinguished Librarian of the Year Award) is September 7th.
