Susan Eldridge PARMA Conference Scholarship
PARMA’s vision is to assist Public Entity Risk Managers in achieving success in their careers and to provide Public Entities with the support they need to make their Risk Managers successful. With this in mind we design a conference to provide quality education and training in all the aspects of risk management. To help assist in funding, PARMA offers scholarships for the conference from both PARMA as an association and also through its chapters.
The Susan Eldridge PARMA Conference Scholarship is for eligible public entity employees. The scholarship includes the following:
- Conference registration;
- Hotel accommodations, at the lowest priced option for Conference Host Hotel, for a maximum of three room nights;
- Round trip travel the IRS mileage rate and/or airfare, not to exceed $600. PARMA will consider written requests in which extenuating circumstances are presented that would justify travel expenses to exceed the maximum dollar limit. Such requests should be addressed to the PARMA Treasurer.
Conference Registration and hotel will be paid directly by PARMA.
Each chapter that maintains a specified amount in their chapter treasury may also award a scholarship. If you are interested in either of these programs, download the PARMA Scholarship form or contact your local chapter for information on their programs. You must be employed by a Public Entity to apply. For more information, please click HERE
