If you’re a member of the Livestock Publications Council and could use some help with expenses for professional development then now is the time to apply (deadline is Dec. 15) for the LPC Professional Development Stipend Program (pdf). Here are the details:
LPC will offer up to 3 stipends of up to $1,000 each to LPC members to help cover expenses to a professional development class, seminar or workshop, which includes Ag Media Summit or IFAJ congress. The LPC board of directors believes that expanding knowledge and excitement in one’s profession will keep dedication and commitment to that job.
Stipend criteria:
– Open to any LPC member.
– Fill out application.
– Submit the information on the conference you wish to attend.
– Provide an estimated budget for your expenses to the event.
– In 250-350 words describe why you should receive this stipend, your professional goals and how you will use this award for
professional development.
– Write a short piece for the LPC Actiongram after you have attended the professional development event, telling how you
used the stipend and how it will help you become a better ag communications professional.
– The stipend funds should be used within a year of when it is awarded. If it is not used because of an emergency, please
contact the LPC executive director.
The application must be postmarked or received electronically by December 15, 2012. Stipend recipients will be contacted by January 10, 2013.
The stipend recipients will be selected by a group of three judges.
