After her death in 2005, in honor of her memory, LISP established a travel grant to help members receive financial assistance to attend the AALL An- nual Meeting. A motion was approved at the 2008 business meeting to open up the Kathy Garner Grant to all AALL members, while retaining a preference for LISP members. Also, this year the amount of the two grants provided was increased from $500 to $850.
