[Libs-Or] ALA/ACRL Membership Scholarships for BIPOC Library Workers

[Senior, Heidi]

Hello,

I wanted to make sure Libs-OR folks saw the announcement from ACRL about ALA/ACRL memberships for BIPOC library workers! The deadline is February 22. See below for details.

Good luck,

Heidi Senior
ACRL-OR Board


ACRL Membership Funding for BIPOC Library Workers



During these unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic; heightened social awareness of systemic racism, oppression, and institutional violence; and economic recession-- all of which disproportionately impact communities of color-- the ACRL Board of Directors has approved funds to support up to 50 memberships for ALA and ACRL (a value of over $200 per membership) for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) library workers, especially those who serve underrepresented populations.



The ACRL Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Committee will be reviewing applications. To apply, please submit this application by February 22, 2021. If you have any questions about this opportunity, please contact EDI Committee Chair Mary Beth Lock at lockmb at wfu.edu<mailto:lockmb at wfu.edu>. Complete details are available on ACRL Insider<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fala.informz.net%2Fz%2FcjUucD9taT05ODI1NDczJnA9MSZ1PTEwMDczODY1NTImbGk9ODM3NjYxODA%2Findex.html&data=04%7C01%7Csenior%40up.edu%7C968382909a8c492d9b0808d8c231f014%7Cea8f3949231c40b6a33f56873af96f87%7C0%7C0%7C637472867033913602%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=cz2KeW7qfHYu3oZlWJadT%2FxS%2BqHtofhwPcFAYZ%2Bv1vc%3D&reserved=0>.
