[Libs-Or] OLA 2005 Conference Program Proposals

[ROBIN BEERBOWER]

CONNECT AND CONQUER: The Power in Collaboration

The Oregon Library Association Conference Committee is looking for
program and pre-conference proposals for the 2005 conference to be held
at the Holiday Inn Portland Airport, April 6-8.  The web pages listing
the guidelines for program and pre-conference proposals will follow in a
day or two.

The conference committee is especially seeking programs that relate to 
OLA President Maureen Cole 's conference theme, "Connect and Conquer:
the Power of Collaboration."  (The link to Maureen's statement will also
follow in a few days).  In keeping with the spirit of the theme, the
conference committee suggests that you collaborate with your colleagues
and, if possible, submit programs to be sponsored by two or more OLA
divisions, committees, and/or round tables. 

At this point the program does not have to be fully organized; you can
give us a general idea of the program and speakers (if known), and fill
in the other details asked on the proposal form.   

Each program or pre-conference must be sponsored by an OLA  unit,  but
if you have great program idea and don't have a sponsor, the Program
Committee will attempt some matchmaking.

Contact Robin Beerbower, Conference Program Committee chair, if you have
questions (rbeerbower at cityfosalem.net or 503-588-6089.

Many thanks from the program committee!
