Dear CALA members,

Since COVID, announcements for CALA Awards and Grant recipients have been shared through the CALA listserv and the CALA Membership Meeting. The Executive Committee sincerely apologizes that this information was not clearly communicated, which led to a misunderstanding that the Award and Grant presentations will be held at the CALA Banquet at ALA.

Below is a list of recipients for this year’s awards and grants. The recording for the Membership Meeting is available at https://iu.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/t/1_p4gt51yo. Award and grant recipient information will be updated on corresponding CALA webpages accordingly.

If you have any suggestions or feedback for CALA’s program(s), we encourage you to share them with the Executive Committee at exc@cala-web.org. Your input is valuable to us. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Vincci Kwong

2023-2024 CALA President
