The MEHA Membership Development Fund is a $2,500 discretionary fund created to assist MEHA members in furthering their professional development. A MEHA member may request funds up to $250 to attend an event or purchase an item such as a text or guidebook. To be considered, the applicant must meet the following criteria:
1. Funds are requested after a member has been denied funds by his/her employer.
2. Funds are used to reimburse the member the cost of attending an event or the purchase of items that will aid in the professional development of the member (i.e. conference registration fees, books for a class, etc.)
3. Funds requested not to exceed $250. Members may receive one award annually.
If attending an event, the application must be received at least 14 days prior to the event. If the application is approved by the membership committee, an award notice will be issued to the member.
To receive reimbursement, the applicant must submit a letter to the membership committee chair stating how the event or item helped further the member's professional development. The applicant must also provide a receipt showing the cost of the event/function at most 14 days after attending event or expense incurred.
