Charge
Make specific, implementable recommendations for streamlining ACRL awards process including:
- Establish standardized process, fundraising protocols, and standard/consistent monetary awards structure across ACRL; create new corresponding guidelines or procedures as necessary
- Investigate feasibility of collapsing all awards into one new division awards committee, as well as other models that consolidate and centralize the process and provide a nimble structure that responds to member and professional needs and values, share pros and cons of different approaches and gather stakeholder feedback as appropriate
- Ensure equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) principles are incorporated into all aspects of awards program, including research grants and scholarships, whether administered at the division or section level (Principles include, but are not limited to definitions of achievement, award eligibility criteria, award nomination processes, and award committee appointment processes)
- Ensure ACRL awards process aligns with ALA policies and awards procedures
