Conference/Seminar Scholarship
Purpose:
- Encourage attendance at the many fine events in our field occurring around our area all year long for which a fee is required
- Overcome any financial stress the fee to such an event would cause
Weighted in Favor of:
- Board members and Chairpersons
- Volunteers
- General membership if no applications from above categories
General Thoughts:
- Up to $30.00 each
- Three awards per year (not counting President’s allotment for annual Conference)
- Only one award per recipient per year
- Once an award is given consideration for that recipient will fall to the same level as the general membership for the next 2 years. In other words, if a board member/volunteer requests and receives an award that person will not be favored above the general membership for the next 2 years. After 3 years following the receipt of the award that board member/volunteer will again be considered above a request from the general membership.
- Date of request shall have bearing when awarding the scholarship
- Board member/chairperson weighted higher than volunteer
- General membership considered only if no weighted requests received
- One award per event
- Board/Chairs should consider it an OBLIGATION OF LEADERSHIP to further their knowledge of our very interesting field.
- Good way to meet the movers and shakers in our area of interest
- Good networking possibilites
- FUN, FOR GOODNESS SAKE!
- Recipient will write a short synopsis of the event in a timely manner to be published in our newsletter.
