Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,
I began working at LINGUIST List fall 2009 and I can't tell you how lucky I feel to be working for such a great organization. Please help us continue to provide resources to the linguistic community by donating here: http://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm
Before I started working here, I knew that LINGUIST List compiled information about jobs, conferences, books, and so on for members of the linguistic community, but I had no idea how much else they do! They are truly committed to contributing to the academic field as a whole via amazing research projects like MultiTree, LL-MAP, and EMELD. If you haven't seen what great resources these are, please visit the sites below - I wish I had known about them sooner!

My responsibilities here include posting academic job announcements, sending out listserv emails, maintaining the EMELD website, and helping to organize conferences. I have to say, one of my very favorite parts of this job is communicating with subscribers, especially about job announcements. The positive feedback I receive underscores what a valuable service we provide to employers and job seekers.
I love being a part of LINGUIST List, and your donations make all that we do possible: http://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm I can't tell you how much your support means - thank you!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
