Hi Jennifer,

We had such a fund many years ago that was very difficult to administer, as well as individuals had to front the costs, which was not always reasonable.   In addition to the above factors, we decided that it was difficult to dovetail the conference topic with our Five Year Plan.  Many participants had a range of conferences, some of which were not always in line with the mission of the Council - often medical conferences.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi all.  We are currently looking at how to best move forward with our Consumer Stipend Project.  I was hoping you could help with the following information:

 

1.)    Does your Council fund a Consumer Stipend Program.  If not, please explain why.

2.)    If your Council does fund a Consumer Stipend Program, please describe the process you use – what things are covered, maximum stipend amount, any limitations, etc.  (you can also send to me as an attachment).

 

Thanks in advance!
