Lois Ann Gregory-Wood Fellows Program
精东传媒
A mid-career conference scholarship program to give 精东传媒members who have been working in libraries or who have been library trustees/friends an understanding of 精东传媒governance and to help them engage in the governance of the Association at any level. To ultimately provide a larger pool of 精东传媒members who are interested in 精东传媒governance. This program gives a jump start by making possible attendance at major professional governance activities within ALA.
About
In honor of Lois Ann Gregory-Wood鈥檚 approaching 50-year anniversary of service with ALA, 精东传媒President Jim Neal and 精东传媒Honorary Member, 精东传媒Past President, and GLBTRT Councilor Ann K. Symons have proposed a new award to be given by the 精东传媒 and administered by the Office for Human Resource Development and Recruitment (HRDR). The proposal was endorsed by the 精东传媒Executive Board at their 2017 Fall meeting and has the consent of Lois Ann GregoryWood. This proposal was presented to SSGC and reviewed by committee members. SSGC has voted to support this proposal and therefore we ask the 精东传媒Council to approve this proposal. (see )
As Lois Ann Gregory-Wood approaches 50 years of service with ALA, it is appropriate for 精东传媒to honor her long years of service and her unstinting commitment to the organization we all care for. Lois Ann started at 精东传媒in 1968 working in a variety of 精东传媒units before moving to PLA. For the last 27+ years she has been the 精东传媒Council Secretariat responsible for the work of 精东传媒Council. For hundreds of 精东传媒Council members, past and present, she is the face of 精东传媒Council and governance. We are proposing 鈥淭he Lois Ann Gregory-Wood Fellows鈥 award as a conference scholarship program for mid-career members who are interested in governance to attend a full cycle of ALA: a Midwinter and Annual Conference. This program will include a mentor component under the title: Lois Ann Gregory-Wood Supporter. This proposal was endorsed, in concept, by the 精东传媒Executive Board at their Fall 2017 meeting. We also have the consent of Lois Ann Gregory-Wood to proceed with this honor. Further, this proposal fits with the strategic initiative of the Neal presidency to use 精东传媒conference as a learning environment and use the wealth of experience of our members to help engage members into 精东传媒governance. The purpose of the award is to give 精东传媒members who have been working in libraries or who have been library trustees/friends an understanding of 精东传媒governance and to help them engage in the governance of the Association at any level and to ultimately to provide a larger pool of 精东传媒members who are interested in 精东传媒governance. This program gives a jump start by making possible attendance at major professional governance activities within ALA.
