Greetings, 

We are accepting applications for the George and Gwen Rittgers State
Convention Stipends between now and 5:00 pm February 26. This deadline is
unmovable. See the criteria below for more information. If you apply you
should go ahead and make hotel reservations but do not pay your registration
and meals  until you hear about the committee's decision as generally we do
not issue funds directly to those going but cover part of the registration
and hotel costs so, we will let you know at time of the decision what you
need do.

I will send a second Email with the application form as soon as I find off
my old computer Hopefully today.

Eugene Coulter, Chair Rittgers fund Committee

5.00 George and Gwen Rittgers Stipends for state convention

 

5.01. The state board will allocate the maximum amount to be 

used from the fund by January 31 of each year.

 

5.02 An individual application must be made 30 days before the  

beginning of convention by the person requesting the funds, or by their  

chapter president, which explains the reason for the request.

 

5.03 It is not intended that these funds pay the entire cost of 

convention attendance, and the committee is only to allocate funds based 

on need and will not use the entire allocated amount unless recipients 

needs justify it.

 

5.04 The state president may authorize funding after the 

deadline in extraordinary circumstances if funds remain in the 

allocation.

 

5.05 Whenever practical, funds will be directly paid either to 

cover hotel costs or convention registration and meals.

 

5.06 New or perspective members will be given highest priority 

in their request.

 

5.07 Persons who have previously attended a Missouri convention 

will then be given consideration.

 

5.08. No person shall receive funds a second or subsequent time 

unless they experience an unexpected financial crisis that would otherwise
prevent their attendance.

 

5.09 Each chapter is encouraged to contribute at least $50 annually to the
George and Gwen Rittgers Fund.

 

5.10 The chair of the Rittgers committee shall send out notice via Email and
on the affiliate website at least 60 days prior to the annual convention.
