Description
This annual award, administered by the New Member Round Table (NMRT) of the American Library Association (ALA), provides recipients with a ticket to attend the ALA Annual Conference event of their choice. The goal is to foster professional involvement and enhance networking opportunities among NMRT members by making conference special events more accessible, especially for those who may find these opportunities financially out of reach. Typically, two NMRT members are selected each year for this professional development support.
