[Rdap] Fwd: Call for 2019 IASSIST Event Sponsorship Proposals

[Jen Doty]

The IASSIST Liaison and Organizational Sponsorship Task Force is seeking
proposals to provide sponsorship of regional or local events during
calendar year 2019.

Events should gather data professionals from multiple institutions and may
vary in size and scope from workshops, symposia, conferences, etc. These
may be established events or new endeavors. We are particularly looking to
sponsor regional or local level events that will attract data professionals
who would benefit from IASSIST membership, but may not always be able to
travel to attend IASSIST conferences. Preference will be given to events
from underrepresented IASSIST membership areas as such as Africa,
Asia/Pacific, Eastern Europe, and Latin/South America.

Requests for sponsorships may be monetary, and may also include a request
for mentorship assistance by matching the event planning committee with an
experienced IASSIST member with relevant expertise (e.g., conference
planning, subject/content, geographic familiarity).

Accepted events will be required to designate an active IASSIST member
<http://iassistdata.org/about/membership.html> as the liaison. Generally,
this would be an IASSIST member who will be attending the event and
although not required, may be on the planning committee or otherwise
contributing to the event. The liaison will be responsible for assistance
with coordinating logistics related to the sponsorship, ensuring that the
sponsorship is recognized at the event, and contributing a post to the
IASSIST blog about the event.

Proposals should include:

   -

   Name of the event and event details (date, location, any other pertinent
   information)
   -

   Organizing or hosting institution
   -

   Description of event and how it relates to IASSIST goals and communities
   <http://iassistdata.org/about/index.html>
   -

   Specific request for sponsorship: amount of money and/or mentorship
   assistance
   -

   For monetary requests, confirmation that an established account exists
   to receive awarded funds
   -

   Description of how the sponsorship will be used
   -

   Name and contact information of person submitting proposal and
   designated event liaison to IASSIST (if different)


Proposals are due on Friday, January 18, 2019 via the Application Form
<https://goo.gl/forms/hqE7RIJWliVg7jeq2>. Notification of sponsorship
awards will be sent by February 15, 2019. The number and monetary extent of
awarded sponsorships will depend on the number and quality of applications
received within a total budgeted limit. Individual sponsorship requests may
range from $0 USD (request for mentorship only) to $2,000 USD.

Please direct questions to Jen Doty, IASSIST Membership Chair (
