Member Sponsorship Fund
The
SLA St Louis Chapter has established a Member Sponsorship Fund for 4 unemployed
information professionals currently actively seeking work.The fund is to assist existing and
prospective members to maintain or to establish membership in SLA and to become
active in the chapter. It is a one-time, non-renewable support award.
The
Member Sponsorship Fund will be open to unemployed information professionals
with either a MLS/MLIS degree or with three years of experience in the following
areas:information specialists,
librarians, webmasters, content developers, vendor positions, researchers, and
other roles in a library or information center.
Each of the 4 recipients receives
funding for one-year full membership in SLA, which includes financial support
for one SLA division.The
recipients may choose to join additional SLA division, chapter or caucus
affiliations at their own expense. For current SLA members, eligibility is
within 60 days of membership expiration. In exchange for receiving the funds, the
sponsored member is to participate in the St Louis Chapter in one of the
following ways:
- Attend at least two chapter meetings and write at least two articles for the Slate to report on these two meetings
- Participate as a committee member for one year in consultation with the Chapter President
- Write at least two articles for the Slate on topics in consultation with the newsletter editor.
