The ABC Representative Travel Award is intended to help newer ABC members build their careers while also promoting ABC at non-ABC conferences. It provides an opportunity for our ABC Representatives to participate in conferences they might not otherwise attend.
The criteria for ABC members eligible for the ABC Representative Travel Award include:
The award winner is chosen by the Executive Committee based on self-nominations or nominations from any Board member or committee chair. The approval of the conference is at the discretion of the Executive Committee, subject to ABC's needs and potential benefits to ABC and the award recipient's demonstrated research interests.
One ABC Representative Travel Award of $1,000-1,500 per year may be awarded.
The awardee must acknowledge ABC’s sponsorship during the conference and in any resulting publications.
