<p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">Hi Oregon Librarians! This might be a great opportunity for someone. Please see below:</p><p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">______________________________________________________________________<br></p><p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">ALA's Public Programs
Office is pleased to continue our relationship with the FINRA Investor
Education Foundation, and are now in the planning and development stages
of creating a new traveling exhibition on financial literacy themes
for kids aged 7-11 years old and the adults in the their lives. The
exhibition will tour to 50 U.S. public libraries for approximately 2
years, launching in late summer 2019.</p>
<p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">We are assembling a group
of 5 public librarians with experience in implementing financial
literacy programming to serve as advisors to the project. The advisory
team will assist in the development of 5 instructor-led activities and
5 family activities related to exhibition concepts, plus 10 additional
library programming suggestions. The team will also help develop and
curate a resource list, including a bibliography and website resources.
This will all be included in the online Site
Support Notebook materials provided to selected libraries as a
programmatic resource and reference.</p>
<p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">Each advisor will receive a
$500 honorarium, and the main activities will occur from October 2018 -
April 2019. The duties of each librarian advisor/library partner on the
team will be:</p>
<p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">* Participate in
regular conference calls, frequency determined by the group, to share
expertise, provide insight and feedback, propose content and contribute
knowledge to ALA staff and fellow team members.</p>
<p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">* Conduct independent research and write program models as needed and report back to the team.</p>
<p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">* Serve as a peer reviewer for the opportunity by reading applications, reviewing and rating them.</p>
<p class="gmail-m_-6274353953287958762MsoPlainText">To be considered as an
