The American Agricultural Editors Association has a Professional Improvement Foundation that provides guidelines and training activities for AAEA members.

One example of how they support members is by picking a couple of members to receive a stipend to assist with expenses in attending the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists Congress each year. I received one of those last year.

They’ve got a fundraising push on to collect funds to assist with their activities. If you would like to support the AAEA PIF, you can download this reply card now (Word doc).
