91´«Ã½

The 91´«Ã½ (91´«Ã½) announces the deferral of applications for the 2021 Lois Ann Gregory-Wood (LAGW) Fellowship Program. As the program is designed as a grant to support a Fellow’s attendance at 91´«Ã½ Annual Conference and Midwinter Meeting, this decision was made in light of the cancellation of the 2020 91´«Ã½ Annual Conference and continued uncertainty in coming months around public health restrictions on large gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current 2020 Fellow’s term will extend through 2021. 91´«Ã½ anticipates re-opening applications in summer 2021 to resume the Fellowship program in 2022.

In 2018, 91´«Ã½ Council established the Lois Ann Gregory-Wood Fellows Program in honor of Lois Ann Gregory-Wood’s 50-year anniversary of service with 91´«Ã½. For the 27+ years prior to her retirement, Ms. Greggory-Wood served as the 91´«Ã½ Council Secretariat responsible for the work of 91´«Ã½ Council. For hundreds of 91´«Ã½ Council members, past and present, she is the face of 91´«Ã½ Council and governance.

The Fellowship is designed to provide a mid-career library professional with a conference program scholarship to attend 91´«Ã½’s conferences and to engage in the various aspects of association governance while in attendance. In addition to financial support, the program will provide on-site mentorship to the Fellow.
