SMAC OFFERS FELLOWSHIPS FOR 2009 AAM ANNUAL MEETING
The Small Museum Administrators' Committee (SMAC) is offering four $500
fellowships to assist in underwriting the costs (registration, hotel and
travel) to attend the 2009 American Association of Museums Annual
Meeting scheduled for April 30 - May 4, 2009 in Philadelphia PA.
Applicants must be current SMAC members through AAM and be a full-time
paid or unpaid employee of a museum with a budget of $350,000 or less.
Only one applicant per museum per year is eligible.
To apply, submit a letter (no more than 2 pages) discussing your
current responsibilities, activities (previous workshops, conferences,
professional service) and career goals. Indicate how attendance at the
AAM conference will benefit both you and your museum. Please include a
resume, a brochure from your museum, proof of museum's budget size, and
a letter of support from your institution (i.e. board member, executive
director). Make sure your letter includes contact address, e-mail and
telephone number.
Mail three (3) copies of your application postmarked by January 5, 2009
to Janice Klein, 1103 East Redondo Circle, Tempe AZ 85282. Faxed
applications will not be accepted. The fellowship awards will be
announced and the winners notified by January 23, 2009 to take advantage
of the AAM Early Registration discount. The fellowship recipients are
expected to attend the SMAC Business Meeting at the AAM conference and
submit a summary of one SMAC-AAM sponsored session for publication in
the newsletter.
