Janel White is the recipient of the Special Library Association’s (SLA) $1,500 SLA Conference Stipend Award. Janel, the 2010-2011 NMRT Secretary, is a broadcast librarian at National Public Radio (NPR). Active in SLA and on the DC SLA Program Planning Committee, she has repeatedly demonstrated hard work, creativity, intelligence, and a sense of humor while coordinating a broad range of events. In NMRT, she chaired the 2009-2010 NMRT President’s Program and was selected as the NMRT Emerging Leader based not only on her involvement with the Round Table, but on her growing involvement locally in SLA.
This Award will allow Janel to attend the conference to continue to network with other SLA members, and build upon the leadership and planning skills that her DC SLA committee work has advanced. NMRT congratulates Janel on her achievement!
