CFP: ACRL Programs for 2011 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans

CFP: ACRL Programs for 2011 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans

ACRL invites its committees, sections, and individual members to consider submitting a program proposal for the 2011 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans.

There will be a virtual meeting on December 8, 2009, at 11:00 a.m. CST for ACRL units and members interested in submitting a proposal for a 2011 ALA Annual Conference Program. The purpose of this meeting is to provide potential conference program planners with an understanding of the Annual Conference program planning process, including budgets, timelines, and planning tips. Please note that the Annual Conference program planning process spans twenty months, until Annual 2011.

2011 ALA Annual Conference Program Proposal forms will be due May 3, 2010. The ACRL Professional Development Coordinating Committee will review and select 2011 Annual Conference programs, and notifications will be issued before the 2010 ALA Annual Conference.

More details about the Annual Conference program process are online at http://www.acrl.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/events/annualprogramsfaq.cfm.

Interested in participating in the virtual meeting on December 8? Please email Megan Griffin at mgriffin@ala.org. Once log-in instructions are available, you will be notified. These instructions will also be posted in ALA Connect, on the main ACRL page.
