Carol Ewing, Chair of the Dujrward K. McDaniel Fund Committee, has asked that I send this message out to the ACB Leadership List so that you can get this information out to anyone you may think would be a good candidate for this great experience.  

The deadline for submission of application letters has been extended to May 1st this year.  I am also including the text of the two documents regarding the committee guidelines and the expectations for this program recipients.  

The following guidelines were approved by the ACB Board of Directors February 21, 2009, Washington D.C.
