The SustainRT Awards Committee is currently accepting nominations for two prestigious awards that align with the sustainability goals of SustainRT and the broader library community. These awards not only acknowledge remarkable efforts but also play a pivotal role in promoting positive change and fostering a culture of wellness and diversity.
1. SustainRT Citation for Wellness in the Workplaces
This award aims to acknowledge libraries or organizations that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the well-being of their staff. If your library or organization has excelled in areas such as continuing education, wellness, positive work environment, unions, salaries, gender equity, pay equity initiatives, and more, we encourage you to apply. The winning library or organization will be honored with a plaque, recognizing their efforts, and will be celebrated during the ALA 2024 Annual Conference. Nominations are open until March 15, 2024.
2. SustainRT New Voices in Sustainability Conference Stipend
Designed to support new and diverse voices within the Sustainability Roundtable, this stipend offers a unique opportunity for professional development at the ALA Annual Conference. If you are a current member of SustainRT, we invite you to submit a brief bio and a statement on the importance of diversity for a chance to win. The recipient will have their registration fees covered for the 2024 ALA Annual Conference and will receive a $250 stipend to cover other conference expenses. Applications are being accepted until March 1, 2024.
