How to Become a GMR Sponsored MLA Webinar Site

Posted by Darlene Kaskie on June 1st, 2016 Posted in: General

The GMR will sponsor the registration costs for up to two (2) sites per state in the region for each MLA Webinar. Since a limited number of sites can be sponsored, please work with your state and local health science librarian groups to identify centralized locations.

Note the two upcoming MLA webinars available for sponsorship:

• Webinar: Systematic Reviews Equal? (More information TBA)
  Date/Time: Wednesday, August 10, 2016, 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., CT
  Application Deadline: July 20, 2016

• Webinars: Basic Statistics (More information TBA)
  Date/Time: Wednesday, September 7, 2016, 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., CT

2. Complete the form and sign the bottom of the form
   • Do not mark any of the boxes related to registration fees

IMPORTANT: With your form, please describe how many attendees you expect to draw at your location and how you plan to promote this webinar to those in your area. You may write this in the email accompanying the electronic submission.

Selection Process: Site selection will be based on geographical location, accessibility and potential number of attendees. For each event, the GMR intends to fund two (2) sites per state. Please note that the GMR will be covering the costs for Site Registration only, not Individual Registration.

Site coordinators will receive one (1) activity point applicable to their Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP) membership. Additional point(s) are available for leading wrap-around sessions.

All sites sponsored by the GMR will be listed at: MLA Webinar Site Sponsors Funded by the GMR – Recipients.
