Applications for the Sidney S. Williston Memorial Fund are due this Friday (10/18)!

Four people receive Williston awards from guild president at the front of a lecture room while an audience congratulates them
Past Sidney S. Williston Award recipients (2019) – Haddon Dine, Soon Kai Poh, Melissa Carrillo, and Tamara Dissi – with WCG President Diana Galante

The fund supports their participation in the many activities offered by the Guild by covering their WCG membership for the year and reduced registration for all WCG-sponsored workshops and conferences. Recipients also have the opportunity to speak at the Intern/Fellow meeting in spring.

In return, recipients are asked to assist the WCG board with meeting administration, like writing meeting summaries, manning the donation table, or clean-up after receptions. These are great opportunities for emerging conservators to network with area professionals and learn more about our field. The application is available here at this link: Sidney S. Williston Memorial Fund Application
