[Libs-Or] 2018 Pat Carterette Professional Development Grant

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings! The following came across my inbox this morning:

The ALA Learning Round Table (LRT) will award up to $1,000 to an individual to attend a professional development event between September 1, 2018 and August 31, 2019. 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 complete an online application by February 15, 2018, at 11:59 pm CST (9:59p PT). The applicate is available here: http://www.ala.org/rt/learnrt/pat-carterette-professional-development-grant)

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 (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 2018.

Cheers,
