I just got an email from Kate Rogge who thought there might be some interest in the KCAA Fall Symposium. I have attached the information below:
Kansas City Area Archivists' 2010 Fall Symposium --
Grant Funding for Archives, Museums, and Special Collection Libraries
October 14, 2010 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm
Nazarene Archives, 17001 Prairie Star Parkway (at W. 95th Street and Renner Boulevard), Lenexa, Kansas 66220
Do you need more money to help process your collections? Are you daunted by the time and process of applying for grants? Come to our Fall Symposium to learn more about getting the grant funding you need.
Guest speakers will discuss how to identify grant-worthy projects in your collections, how to identify appropriate grant-making resources, how to package your grant application, and how to manage your grant-funded project. A panel discussion of our grant experts, at the end of the presentations, will help with your questions about the grant-seeking process.
The Symposium is FREE to all KCAA members, and is open to the public (so please pass this announcement on to all interested parties). There is a $15.00 admission charge for non-members ($10.00 for students with a student ID), and their admission will include a one year membership to KCAA. You can pay at the door.
Reservations are requested, but last minute drop-ins are welcome. Please RSVP to Cat Riggs at ccriggs28@ku.edu
