The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities is seeking nominations for its Board of Directors. As the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the LEH is the major source of grants for public humanities programs in Louisiana.
The LEH has supported such projects as the nationally acclaimed PRIME TIME FAMILY READING TIME® literacy project, KnowLA – The Digital Encyclopedia of Louisiana, and Teacher Institutes for Advanced Study. In 2010-2011 the LEH provided in excess of $3 million for humanities projects.
The LEH board consists of 27 people, six of them appointed by the governor. The Board includes individuals from the academic community and from the general public. Board members are selected on the basis of their knowledge of or involvement with the humanities and represent a broad cross(cid:0) section of the community, including colleges, universities, museums, libraries, politics, business, journalism, labor, minorities, professions, and civic organizations.
Deadline is May 25, 2012. For more information contact Michael Sartisky, PhD at sartisky@leh.org.
