[LM_NET] GEN: Travel stipend for National Library Legislation Day advocate

[Sara Kelly Johns <sarakellyjohns@YAHOO.COM>]

  Do you have a parent or community advocate that you would like to expose to the 
national legislative efforts?  ALA and WHCLIST are looking for you!
 
    The ALA Washington Office in conjunction with the White House Conference on 
Library and Information Services Taskforce (WHCLIST) is pleased to announce that a 
monetary award has been created to help pay for a participant to attend National 
Library Legislative Day (NLLD) held
annually in Washington DC. WHCLIST was an effective force in library advocacy 
nationally, statewide, and locally, following the White House Conferences of 1979 
and 1991.
              Criteria:

·    The recipient should be a library supporter (trustee, Friend,   
     general supporter), not a professional librarian.

  ·          Priority will be given to those who are first-time attendees to   
     National Library Legislative Day.
          Recipient should include a letter of reference from a library     
                 director, school librarian, trustee board Chair, Friends Group   
                 Chair, or other library person.

 
                          ·               Recipient must be willing to continue to 
advocate for library    
                services.


The Washington Office will contact the recipient's Senators and Member of Congress 
to announce the award.


Two WHCLIST leaders and one member of the Washington Office staff will choose the 
recipient each year.


ALA and WHCLIST are committed to ensuring that the American people get the best 
library services possible. These funds will be used to further those efforts.
 
                                      If you or someone you know might be 
interested, please send a letter explaining why you should be chosen, your letter 
of reference, and a completed NLLD registration form to:
