Conference Travel Award
Purpose
ARLIS/NA Ontario, a chapter of ARLIS/NA, annually awards a conference travel
award to a chapter member. The grant is intended to promote
professional development among chapter members and to encourage their
involvement in ARLIS/NA, by defraying the expense of attending ARLIS/NA's
annual conference. The grant is funded through chapter fundraising activities
and is set at $750.00.
Eligibility
All current, paid up members of ARLIS/NA Ontario are eligible for the
grant. Chapter officers, new professionals who have never attended the
ARLIS/NA annual conference, and those who will be participating directly in
conference sessions or who currently volunteer on an ARLIS/NA committee, are
especially encouraged to apply for the grant. The successful applicant
will write for the chapter's web site a brief, one to two page report of
conference activities and experiences, and a report of ARLIS/NA involvement
where applicable. Chapter members who have previously received an
ARLIS/NA Ontario travel award or grant are free to apply again. If no
suitable applications are received, or fundraising does not meet the annual
target, the grant will not be awarded.
