I received the following message this morning from Jennifer King, NALS Meetings and Marketing Representative.
The results of the 2011 NALS Jett Awards have been returned to the Resource Center. Your program, ‘AALS Can Do It!,’ is a great program and others could learn from it. There were several entries this year, and, AALS (Arkansas) is the winner of the cornerstone award this year. AALS will be recognized in Tulsa with an award and your program will be displayed. Keep up the good work!
Thank you to Janet Gordon, PP, PLS, for gathering the required material and submitting the application to NALS. The “AALS Can Do It” program was a Ways and Means project started by Janice Miller, PP, PLS, CPS, when she was AALS president. Janice, we cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done and continue to do for AALS, and especially for the foresight to see how beneficial this project would be for AALS. Thank you to all members and chapters who participate in this project. This is a wonderful accolade for AALS and the national recognition is priceless.
The NALS website explains the award as:
The Awards are divided into three levels. Programs in each classification and category are eligible for either a second place Cornerstone Award, or a first place Keystone Award. One program out of all the entries, among all classes and categories will be recognized as the best overall program and will receive the Founders Award. If the judges deem no entries submitted in a particular category deserve an award, none will be given. Award winners will be notified upon completion of judging. All award winning programs will receive special recognition at the Professional Development Conference and will be displayed throughout the conference, but the recognition does not end there. Award winning programs will also be featured in @LAW and on the NALS Website.
Your Captain
Great news! And also well deserved recognition for Janice and the program she initiated.
