NOTICES FROM DIANE

by Diane McGurgan

Membership directory

The NASW membership directory was mailed in June. If your name is not listed that means your dues arrived too late for inclusion in this year’s directory. Many thanks to Larry Krumenaker, Hermograph Press, for the design, desktop publishing, and this year’s spiffy new look.

CASW New Horizons

The 41st annual CASW New Horizons in Science Briefing for science writers will be held Oct. 26-29. The meeting is co-hosted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee. For more information, see the CASW Web site (www.casw.org) or watch the mail for program and registration information. CASW offers Traveling Fellowships, of up to $1,000 each, to cover the costs of attending New Horizons. The fellowships are intended primarily for journalists from publications and broadcast outlets that do not routinely cover major science meetings or employ a full-time science writer. The application deadline is Sept. 10.

NASW Fall workshop

For the first time, NASW is offering a Fall Professional Development workshop. It will take place on Oct. 25, prior to the start of the CASW New Horizons meeting. See page 22 for more details.
