The 2009 SLA Awards and Honors Committee currently seeks nominations for a new award aimed at recognizing the best up-and-coming members in the association. The deadline to submit a nomination for 2009 is May 6.

The SLA Rising Star Award will be presented at SLA 2009 June 14-17 in Washington, D.C., to no more than five information professionals. In future years, the Rising Star Award will be part of the annual SLA Honors and Awards process, with nominations made along with those for other association-level awards during the fourth quarter of the year.
