    The Celine Palatsky Travel Award Committee is pleased to announce Flannery Cusick as the award's 2024 recipient. This year's $1200 award supports attendance at the 52nd annual ARLIS/NA conference held in Pittsburgh April 2-5, 2024.

    Flannery Cusick is currently a Graduate Assistant at the Ricker Library at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and previously interned in access services at the Frick Art Reference Library, during which they became an active member of the New York Chapter and wrote for the chapter newsletter. Prior to their work in libraries, Flannery worked as a Research Assistant at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University. Flannery has been accepted to present at this year's conference, and the committee was impressed by their explicit intention to engage in a "mutually beneficial" relationship with ARLIS. We're happy to support Flannery in building a career in our field.

    The ARLIS/NA New York Chapter Travel Award was initiated in 1993 and renamed in 2000 in memory of Celine Palatsky, who served as Associate Museum Librarian of the Thomas J. Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1971 to 1999 and as ARLIS/NA New York Treasurer for fourteen consecutive years.

    ARLIS/NA New York is thrilled to announce this year’s awardee of the Celine Palatsky Travel Award for attendance at ARLIS/NA's Annual Conference in Chicago, Illinois.

    Nic Caldwell (he/they) has been a member of the ARLIS/NA New York Chapter since 2020. Nic is a Curatorial Fellow at The Morgan Library and Museum (@themorganlibrary) and a 2021 graduate of the NYU Dual Degree program, with a Masters in English Literature and Library and Information Science.

He is particularly interested in how archives and special collections can be made more accessible to marginalized communities.

    Nic will be presenting a Lightning Talk, “Our Artists, Our Culture: Critically Cataloging The Black Arts Movement”, at the Annual Conference.

    This year’s award committee was Giana Ricci, Jillian Suarez, and Joey Vincennie.

    The 2022 ARLIS/NA New York Executive Board is charging a Nominating Assessment Committee to examine the chapter’s current nominating processes. This committee will consist of at least three but no more than four non-Executive Board chapter members, plus the Secretary who will serve as a liaison between the Committee and the Executive Board. The Secretary will serve in an administrative capacity only, providing access to Board documents as necessary and passing along questions to the Board. 

    This group will examine our existing processes with particular attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion with the aim of mitigating personal bias in the selection process and promoting transparency. This committee will create a report with findings and recommendations for review by the Executive Board of 2022 with implementation for future Nominating Committees. 

    The group will start its work as soon as possible and is expected to finish by the end of May 2022, although the timeline is flexible. 

    If you are interested in serving on this short-term committee, please contact Cindy Wolff, ARLIS/NA New York Secretary, at cwolff2@pratt.edu. The deadline to volunteer is February 25, 2022. No CV or letter of interest is required.
