[AL-Directors] Pat Carterette Professional Development Grant - Applications Now Being Accepted

[Darci Hanning]

Greeting and please pardon the duplicate messages, I wanted to advertise this opportunity widely:

The ALA Learning Round Table (LRT) will award up to $1,000 to an individual to attend a professional development event between Sept. 1, 2019 and Aug. 31, 2020. The award recipient will be required to share their new learning with other Round Table members in some way (newsletter, blog, list serve, etc.).  Applicants do not have to be ALA members to apply.

Applicants must respond to the questionnaire located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HBCMCT5 by Feb. 15, 2019, at 11:59 pm CST.

This grant, named after our much admired past-president, the late Pat Carterette, is designed to honor her passion for professional development in the field of library and information sciences.  A former staff development and continuing education coordinator, Pat believed in quality library service, leadership development and continual learning.

Please note: The maximum grant amount is $1,000 (reimbursement with receipts).  Any costs above this will be the responsibility of the recipient.  In addition to the financial award, the recipient will be provided with access to a member of LRT, who will serve as a “Professional Development Mentor” throughout the award year.  If the recipient is already an ALA member, they will also receive a free one-year membership in LRT.  The award recipient will be notified in May 2019.
