WHSLA Professional Development Award - Enter Our Annual Drawing to Win $500

In order to support the professional development of its members, WHSLA is offering two $500 awards to eligible WHSLA members.  The recipients of these awards will be chosen by a drawing.  

If you are interested in submitting your name for the drawing, please fill out this form before April 11, 2023.

 

The awards can be used by a member in good standing for either 

• continuing education
• conference costs 
• or towards AHIP membership.  

If the award recipient chooses to use some or all the award toward continuing education or conference costs, such as registration, travel, lodging and meals, they would be required to share the information learned with WHSLA’s membership.  

If the recipient elects to use some of the award toward an AHIP membership, the recipient would be required to run for an elected WHSLA office in the next two years.  It would be expected that if the recipient only uses their award toward AHIP membership, they will only accept the amount needed for AHIP membership and will not accept the remainder of the $500 award. 

 

The awards are available to members in good standing and they will be chosen at random from a drawing of interested and eligible candidates.  Previous award winners are ineligible if it has been less than three years since their award.  If you previously won an award but did not complete your sharing award you are also ineligible.
