<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This is a reminder that the submission site for program proposals for the
<b>2019 OLA-WLA Conference</b> opened September 14 and continues to accept submissions. The deadline is
<b><u>12:00PM MONDAY, OCTOBER 29</u></b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Your OLA Conference Committee reps are eager to see all the fabulous ideas we know Oregon librarians and library workers can imagine! Still, as a joint conference, we encourage you to reach out to your Washington colleagues for potential
collaboration. Remember, programs that are sponsored by an association unit will undoubtedly be especially strong contenders.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Be sure to review the “Guidelines & Tips” and keep in mind the conference theme “Charting the Unexpected Together.”<o:p></o:p></p>
