CAC grants and awards deadline extension

Additional Grants and Extended Deadline

The Canadian Association for Conservation Board has released
additional funds to the Grants Program to assist members with travel
and accommodations for attendance at the Annual Conference and/or
Workshop in Winnipeg this year.  The grant numbers and associated
funds will be doubled this year only, to a maximum of $11,000.00
awarded to as many as 16 individuals.  Application procedures and
guidelines will remain the same, but there will be an extension of
the deadline to February 14, 2011.

Pass The Torch Grant Michael Harrington, recently retired from his
position as Manager of Preservation Services and Training at the
Canadian Conservation Institute, would like to "pass the torch" to
an emerging Canadian conservator (student or recent graduate of a
recognized training program) by supporting CAC Conference/Workshop
travel and accommodation expenses to a maximum of $700.00.
Applicants for this grant should submit a 250 word essay on "How I
See Myself Contributing to the Profession" and fill out the regular
Conference/Workshop Grant application form found on the CAC Website
at

Unsuccessful applicants for this grant will be considered for the
regular Conference and Workshop grants.  Don't miss out on this one
time opportunity!

Awards Deadline also extended: The deadlines for the CAC Charles
Mervyn Ruggles Award and Emerging Conservator Award will also be
extended to February 14, 2011

Don't forget to bestow a special valentine this year on a deserving
conservator who has made outstanding contributions to the
profession.
