The Subcommittee started the 2011-2012 year with $3000 in its budget. We have awarded two grants totaling $1,000.00. There is a remaining balance of $2000 in our account. The grant recipients, amounts, and activities funded are as follows.
* Stephan J. Macaluso (New Paltz) received a $500 grant to attend the Harvard Leadership Institute for Academic Libraries (LIAL) in the summer of 2011.
* Curt Friehs (Old Westbury) was awarded $500 to attend the 31st Annual Charleston Conference to co-present “Turn that Frown Upside Down: Management Strategies for Improving Library Employee Morale in Uncertain Times” in November 2011.
The Subcommittee is currently reviewing another grant application for $500.
Our grant application is now also available in Word on the Professional Development Grant webpage. Previously, the application was only available in PDF.
