**Date:
**Committee Name: Shirley Olofson Memorial Award
**Supervising Board Member: Joseph Yue
**Chair, Co-Chairs, Assistant Chairs: Rich Murray
**Committee members: Lisa Ennis, Smita Parkhe, Linda Rowan, Michelle Turvey, Elisabeth Filar Williams
**Goals, Objectives, Projects completed (including, but not
limited to, any procedures, tip sheets, checklists, etc. created during the
reporting year):
**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.
No action items. The committee suggests that in the future NMRT accept electronic applications only. Chair can easily forward electronic applications to committee members for review and consideration; paper applications require photocopying and mailing, which take up time and money (the committee currently has no budget for photocopies or postage).
The committee also suggests two additions to future application forms:
1) Ask
applicant to specify how many
2) Ask applicant to address specifically his/her financial need. Since financial need is among the criteria, it would be helpful for applicants to address this issue. Among this year's applicants, some discussed their financial need very vaguely and others did not mention it at all.
