Association of Jewish LibrariesÂNew York Metropolitan Area Chapter (AJL-NYMA)
Dear AJL-NYMA members and prospective members, This yearÂ’s AJL Convention will take place in Phoenix, Arizona, from June 17-20, 2007, at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Villas, and you are all encouraged to participate in what promises to be a stimulating conference. Our chapter is offering several $250 stipends to help NYMA members defray the cost of attending. Only those who are paid-up members of both AJL national and NYMA are eligible. This year we are offering an additional two $250 stipends specifically for NYMA members from New Jersey, so I especially encourage our members from there to apply. A sub-committee of the NYMA Executive Board will select the convention subsidy winners. If you would like to be considered, please fill out the questionnaire on page 2 below. It must be mailed (postmarked), faxed (with a cover letter to my attention), or emailed to me by March 26, 2007. Anyone who receives the stipend and does not attend the convention for any reason is responsible for notifying NYMA immediately and repaying the amount in full. Our first priority is to extend funding to those who have no other sources of financial assistance. We hope that this stipend will assist some of our members to attend the AJL Annual Convention. This event always proves to be an enriching experience professionally and personally.
