Dear Subscribers to the AILACT Discussion List,



In a recent review of innovation proposals, the AILACT Board agreed to establish a new standing committee, the Grant Proposal Writing Committee. As those of you who have been receiving the AILACT Newsletter or are on one of the lists, the AILACT BOARD has been concerned since its Annual Meeting in December 2014 with investigating proposals for innovation intended to enhance the vitality of the organization. A central innovation thrust concerns the Critical Thinking Supertext project, which is featured in the latest ALACT Newsletter, which should appear later this month. New proposals require money. There are funding organizations which might look with interest on some AILACT proposals, provided they received specific applications from  AILACT . Hence, it is in AILACT's interest to establish a Grant Proposal Writing Committee as a new standing committee. We are calling then for volunteers to constitute this committee. Since the committee is completely new, we expect its modus operandi will evolve over time. The point right now is to see whether there is interest on the part of those on AILACTD-L to possibly be members of the committee. If you have some interest, please indicate by responding to this e-mail or responding to me directly at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. To have some idea of strength of interest in this project, please respond by October 15, 2016. I hope I shall have a positive report to make in November's AILACT Newsletter.



Thanks for your interest,



James Freeman

President, AILACT
