Okay, so those of you who have contacted me about the
CFI student leadership conference need to download
this form [1st page only; don't worry about the 2nd page -- the travel grant] and fill it out and contact me ASAP with your intent to attend. I am assuming that all of you cannot go if your travel grant is not made available. Make sure you reference AAFSA at UF in the organization line.
Now, after I hear from you, I will be contacting the CFI travel grant coordinator and finding out how many of you can go. If it's everybody, then GREAT! If not, then I have to make a hard choice. Priority will be given first to
officers, then to anyone who has attended
at least one meeting, then by the first reply to me when the intial email was sent out.
Once I figure out how many people are going, I will contact you and you can then submit the form in one of the three following ways:
1) Print it out, fill it out, and fax it to 716-636-1733, ATTN: Thomas Donnelly
2) Print it out, fill it out, and scan it in as a JPEG or Adobe file, then
email it to tdonnelly@centerforinquiry.net
3) If you can't do 1 or 2...Print it out, fill it out, and bring it by CLB (Chemistry Lab Building -- NOT Chemistry Research Building), room 409 -- my lab. If I'm not in there, leave it on my desk, or put it in the cardboard box on the floor just outside my door if the door is locked. [you will probably want to put it in an envelope if this last option] I will probably fax it for you. Try to do 1 or 2 yourself if possible.
So far, I and Amber plan to go, and I have had the following people express interest:
Jess (VP), Ben N., Marc V., Stacey K., Sam J., Eric T.
...Potentially 8 people.
The situation is simple: they will be able to provide airfare for at least some of those wanting to go, if not all. The cost is $35 and includes: "admission to conference sessions, two nights lodging,
two dinners, and three luncheons." Thus, very little money will be required of those who can get a travel grant. I simply don't know yet how many of you will be able to get one [I need a final count in the group first], but I will know as soon as you get back to me, and then I hear back from CFI.
If you're going to go, you need to agree to attend at least
some (preferably 50%) of the events, since they're booting the airfare. Check out the schedule
here.
SOOOOooo...please print out
THIS FORM, fill it out, and
notify me of you intent to attend ASAP. If you have questions or concerns, my phone numbers are available through
my Facebook profile, just add me as a friend to see them.
Again, I need to know post-haste. This weekend is going to be the last opportunity to notify me, and I'll fax everything in as soon as I know something, after talking to the travel grant person Monday.
