Information about Professional Development Funding can be found by going to the Other Documents link. There are two items to view -- Please read the Terms for Funding prior to completing the request form.

Professional Development funds are additional funds that the GEA has been granted from the College. This is NOT the $350 contractual that every member has but that is managed by your supervisor.

Please note, if you are requesting money to travel, attend a workshop, conference, etc, we ask that you estimate your total cost, subtract the $350 contractual to help defray expenses. ALSO, please include the DATE of the workshop, conference, etc.

I will reply to your request by early October unless there is a conference in September.

Mary Jane Shonn, Secretary for the GEA
