    Dear CSK/EMIERT Members, I will be pulling together CSK Nominating Committee members within the next 4-6 weeks or so for a meeting. I would like to ask for names (and e-mail addresses) of people you would like to nominate for the CSK and Virginia Hamilton juries. Please note that they must be EMIERT members and highly knowledgeable and skilled in regard to the evaluation of children's and young adult literature. Self-nominations are welcome as well. 



    I need the names and e-mail addresses by March 25th.     If you are going to self-nominate, please send a CV and writing samples such as previously published book reviews. If I have an e-mail address for someone else you may nominate, I'll contact that person to request this information. Thanks so much. Also, if you self-nominate, please indicate in your e-mail if you are willing to serve on both juries. Have a good week! All best.
