Good afternoon, everyone:
I am writing to ask that you encourage your organizational members to nominate their local administrators for the Distinguished School Administrators Award.
The purpose of the AASL Distinguished School Administrators Award is:
To honor those administrators outside the library profession who through individual leadership and sustained effort have made worthy contributions to the operations of effective school library services and to advancing the role of the school library services in the educational program.
To recognize the responsible and influential role of those administrators outside the school library department in developing successful school library programs.
To stimulate planning, implementing and support of the library services which are essential to a meaningful educational program.
This is a monetary award of $2,000 and is sponsored by ProQuest. Nominations must be made by AASL personal members and the application deadline is February 1, 2016. All information pertaining to this award is available at the link above.
Thanks in advance for spreading the word to your state organizations.
