The Association for Preservation Technology-Delaware Valley Chapter (APT-DVC) is thrilled to announce the return of its sponsorship program for the annual conference of the Association for Preservation Technology International (APTI). This year, one Emerging Professional will be selected to attend the conference in Buffalo, NY.
APT-DVC will provide registration to the conference plus a stiped for additional conference and travel expenses to one active APT-DVC member who is within 5 years of graduation.
We believe that the annual APTI conference (www.apti.org) provides an excellent opportunity for emerging professionals to interact with established members of the field. In addition, the lectures, tours, and other events at the conference provide numerous avenues for professional development. Encouraging emerging professionals to participate in the conference follows APT-DVC’s mission to promote communication between members in the field and to increase members’ knowledge and understanding of best practices.
Applicants for the APTI Conference Sponsorship must follow these prerequisites:
- Must be a current member of APT-DVC
- Must provide proof of graduation from a relevant, accredited graduate, undergraduate, or trade apprenticeship program within 5 years of the application deadline.
Application for the Sponsorship must include:
- Completed application form
- Current CV or resume
- Personal statement
- One recommendation letter
- Preliminary budget of expenses for conference and travel expenses (not including conference registration) limited to $1200
Applications are due by 11:59 PM on Friday, July 6, 2018. They will be reviewed by a committee of APT-DVC board members and recipients will be announced on Friday, July 20th. The sponsorship recipients will be expected to submit a brief report (500 words and 3 images) of their conference experience within 30 days of the event for APT-DVC to share with its members.
Please contact APT-DVC board member Kevin Wohlgemuth at kwohlgemuth@bcausa.com if you have any questions about the application process.
