Are you an APLA member that hasn't attended an APLA Conference? APLA
offers a grant for a first time attendee and this year's conference will
be held in Saint John, NB [ http://www.apla2010.ca ]. See below for
details about the grant.
 
First Timer's Conference Grant

To be eligible, an applicant must be a personal member of APLA,
residing in Atlantic Canada, and planning to attend her/his first APLA
annual conference. Grants are allocated, consistent with general APLA
guidelines, to help meet conference related expenses. If more
applications are received than can be met by the fund, money will be
awarded by drawing from the names of all eligible applicants. Recipients
will be expected to write a short report, for the Executive and the APLA
Bulletin, summarizing their conference experience. Applicants should
include name, business address, chosen means for contacting (mail,
e-mail, telephone, fax) estimated costs (travel, accommodation, meals,
registration), and a signed compliance with eligibility requirements.

Submit applications by March 31 to:
