ARMA-Boston Chapter - Haas Memorial Award

The following was revised by the Joint Haas Scholarship Committee in June 1997

Applications and Awards:
The committee advertises the availability of the award and solicits applications. The award may be given in whatever amount the committee chooses, but not to exceed $500.00 to the same person or project in any one year. Awards are made from annual contributions and from interest. The endowment is not touched.

The award may be used to support any archival or records management work, but preference will be given to projects that show the need for cooperation among archivists and records managers. This award is limited to applicants within New England and preference is given to local chapter members in good standing of ARMA or the NEA.

The committee may consider granting two awards, @$500.00 each, in any one year; one for professional development (attending meeting or seminar), and one relating to a project. There is no obligation to grant the award annually.

The committee reports regularly to both boards, describing its activities, especially the awards given and the reports of the activities funded by the Haas Award.

The scholarship awards are announced at the annual awards meeting which takes place at the May ARMA Boston monthly meeting.
