Jim - Thanks for the invitation and I would love to participate in the process, but I will not be attending the conference. - mark - -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Jim Angus Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2000 2:28 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Best of the Web Awards, 2001 Hi All, I am chairing the Best of the Web Awards for 2001. The Best of the Web awards are announced at the annual Museums and the Web conference (http://www.archimuse.com/conferences/mw.html). I am currently looking for volunteers that are willing to be involved in the judging process. Judges must be willing to attend the annual conference and any web sites associated with a judge will be ineligible for an award. I'm looking for 12 judges and 4 back up judges. The judges need to be from diverse geographic areas and represent a wide range of museums. I also feel strongly that the panel of judges should be diverse in terms of gender, ethnicity and handicap. So, if you are planning on attending the annual conference and are willing to be a judge, please drop me a note to my museum address: [log in to unmask] Please do not respond to the list. Please include the following information: Name: E-mail Address: Museum: Location of Museum: Type of Museum (Art/Science/History/Culture): Job Title: Telephone Number: And now for the socially awkward question: How would you describe your ethnicity, your gender and/or your handicap? You will not be excluded from the process just because you are not an African-American Lesbian of Color with Cerebral Palsy. I just want to make sure I have a diverse panel. I apologize for any political correctness or incorrectness that I may have displayed.
