*****************************************************************************

ASTC members,

There is still time to participate in this year's "Edgie" competition by
nominating your institution's exemplary accomplishments in visitor
experience, business practice, and staff leadership since January 2006. The
deadline is now TUESDAY, MARCH 31.

Separate awards will go to large and small institutions and to new staff
members, as well as seasoned staff. 

NEW THIS YEAR: "small" science centers/museums are now defined as those with
annual operating expenses less than US$3 million. Previously the cut-off was
$1.5 million.

Each award will consist of an etched glass "Edgie" presented during the ASTC
Annual Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, plus a paid registration to the 2010
ASTC Annual Conference in Hawaii. Aloha!

Visit www.astc.org/about/awards/leading_edge.htm for details, nomination
forms, and to learn about past recipients.

Good luck!
