Recently,
the Wisconsin AfterSchool Association held their annual conference and I
was very glad to know that Wisconsin public librarians were in
attendance. AfterSchool
is a great organization with whom we can partner—same kids, same
ideas! One
of your peers had this to say about the 2014conference: “I attended AND presented last year and thought,
‘Why aren’t my youth librarian peers here in force?’ I think
youth librarians in WI would really get a lot out of WAA– as well
possibly considering presenting some great programs that have worked
well with school-agers!”
If
you missed the 2015 conference, or attended and now want to present,
please see the information below and attached regarding next year’s
event.
The
Wisconsin AfterSchool Association is requesting proposals for workshop
presentations for the next Annual Conference which will be held on April
8 & 9, 2016 at Country
Springs in Waukesha, WI. The Association is looking for speakers for
April 9th.
Workshop
presenters have the option of one free conference registration per
workshop or an honorarium of $50 for each workshop. If asked to repeat
your workshop, a second
stipend is provided. In addition to formal workshops a more informal
presentation is a Poster Session, which is a mini-workshop or display
presenting resources or activities. Poster session presenters will
receive a $25 honorarium or a $25 discount on conference
registration. All proposals must be received by October 1, 2016.
If
you have any questions about the Wisconsin AfterSchool Association or
want to get involved sooner than next April, contact Trina Tiffany
at
waa.organization@gmail.com.
