Gertrude Whipple Professional Development Program

 

The Gertrude Whipple Professional Development Grant, which carries a monetary prize of up to US$5,000, is awarded from time to time to assist a member with the planning and creation of professional development projects, with the production of high quality materials, with the marketing and scheduling of meetings and workshops, and with the logistic support for conducting them. Award decisions, based on the quality of proposals and on the timeliness of the topic, are made as soon as the appropriate designated committee reviews proposals and recommends funding to the Association Board of Directors.

For additional information, contact the Executive Office.
