Approved at the RC meeting May 13-14, 2001
Requests for conference grants should
- be in writing (email or paper) to the REVP’s office
- be received 3 weeks prior to registration deadline
- contain a rationale why this conference would be valuable for the applicant
- give an indication how the information/experience obtained at the conference will be used by the participant in union activities
- indicate any other efforts the applicant has made to obtain funding
All requests will be forwarded to the Grant’s Committee for approval.
The following considerations will be used to award grants:
- is the conference is labour, political or social activism related?
- will the Region benefit from our participation in this event?
- has the applicant been awarded previous grants for conferences? if yes, when?
- normally we will not fund more than 3 participants for the same conference
- exceptions to the above should be mostly in the lower-cost category
Grants:
Conference outside BC: $500.00
Conference in BC, and participant has to fly: up to $500.00
Conference in BC and no need to fly: $250.00
There should be a written report to the REVP’s office within one month of the event.
