Jay Ladd Distinguished Service Award: 2008 Call for Nominations

The time to nominate someone is now!  The nominating period draws to an end on October 3rd.  If there is someone you know deserving of recognition and working in an academic library.  There is no better way to  honor them then through the Jay Ladd Distinguished Service Award.
 
The ALAO Awards Committee seeks nominations for the Jay Ladd Distinguished Service Award.  This award recognizes an individual who (1) has been an ALAO member for at least 5 years, and (2) who has promoted academic libraries and librarianship not only on his or her own campus, but also within the state.  

The award also recognizes someone who has provided leadership in the promotion of ALAO through service such as committee membership, executive board office, or acting as an officer on behalf of an interest group.  

The Jay Ladd Distinguished  Service Award honors the memory of Jay Ladd, a founding member of ALAO in the early 1970’s.
 
This opportunity is a wonderful way to recognize a colleague who has provided leadership in ALAO and contributed to the profession.  The recipient of this year’s award will receive an honorary 5-year membership in ALAO and will be recognized at the 34th ALAO Annual Conference at the Roberts Conference Centre on October 24th, 2008.
