Morris Jones A w ard Goes to ALA Divisions Nine divisions of the American Library Asso­ ciation, including A C R L, have received the 1983 J . Morris Jones Award. Sponsored by World Book Encyclopedia, the Jones Award consists of a grant of $5,000 for programs that will implement the goal and objectives of ALA. The ALA divisions will use the grant money for a cooperative project to strengthen the lead­ ership skills of divisional officers both in their roles in ALA and their respective units. The project, entitled “ALA Divisional Leadership Enhancement Program,” will include a one­ time preconference for all divisional leaders, followed by an annual leadership orientation for newly elected divisional officers and board members. A training package which can be used within divisions to develop leadership be­ low the board level will also be developed. ACRL will administer the project, and Bar­ bara Macikas will coordinate the project at ACRL Headquarters.
