NOTE: ** = Required Field

 

 

**Type of report being submitted: Committee Final Report

 

**Date: August 1, 2003

 

 

**Committee Name: 3M/NMRT Professional Development Grant Committee

 

 

 

**Supervising Board Member: Joseph Yue

 

 

 

**Chair, Co-Chairs, Assistant Chairs:  None

 

 

 

**Committee members:  Beverly Ku, Denise Kwan, Stephanie DeClue, Gail Spears, Robin Trapani

 

 

 

**Goals, Objectives, Projects completed (including, but not limited to, any procedures, tip sheets, checklists, etc. created during the reporting year):

 

Three award recipients were chosen; two librarians accepted the 3M/NMRT grant and attended the ALA conference in Toronto, Canada.

 

A tip sheet has been created for future chairs of the 3M/NMRT Grant. These are things that need to be done that is not among the files.

 

A handout about the awards given out by NMRT was created for publicity for NMRT and the 3M/NMRT Grant and the Olofson Award Committee. This handout can be updated for future use.

 

 

 

**Action Items/Issues To Be Resolved – What plans/projects remain which will be carried over or postponed until next year? Have there been any substantial changes in plans requiring a reconsideration or cancellation of projects? Information regarding such will be helpful for future chairs and planners.

 

I suggest a secure web site be created to load grant applications so that the grant committee can evaluate the applications as received, rather than waiting for a large packet of photocopied applications. This will help ease the rush to review 50+ applications before the Midwinter meeting. This year, there were more than 80 applications. This action would save money (less to mail to the committee), time, and paper.
