Elizabeth Martinez and Binnie Wilkin will join ALA President-Elect and Spectrum Alumna Cindy Hohl in conversation about the mission of Spectrum, and its journey since its beginnings in 1998 as we kick off our 25th Anniversary year.

The Spectrum Scholarship Program was created by Elizabeth Martinez (ALA Executive Director 1994-1997) and Dr. Betty J. Turock (ALA President 1995-1996) and had its first class of 50 grantees in 1998. As we welcome and celebrate the 2023 class of grantees, we also celebrate the growth of the Spectrum Program, and credit all who have supported it throughout its journey.
