Guidelines
(September 12, 2004)

At the January 2003 Mid-Winter Meeting of the Alberta Mackenzie Provincial Council, a Professional Development/Education Fund was instituted as a pilot project to be reviewed during the Council’s Budget process for 2004. The purpose of the Provincial Fund is to support opportunities for education in the League that would otherwise be dismissed due to lack of funds. The Fund is intended for events for which monies cannot be accessed from CWL National’s Development Fund. Initially, Provincial and Diocesan Officers are the primary candidates for the Provincial Fund. This fund is to cover registration/course fees only.
  1. Funding is available within Budget limitations. Requests for funding will be evaluated on an individual basis, and a decision made by the CWL ABMK Provincial Council’s Professional Development/Education Fund Committee. The committee consists of the Education and Health Chairperson, Organization Chairperson, Treasurer, President (ex-officio), and one other provincial officer as appointed by the president.
  2. Consideration will be given to requests for funding submitted in the following categories:
  • Diocesan Councils requesting provincial executive member(s) to speak or to facilitate a session.
  • Diocesan Councils bringing in guest speaker(s).
  • Diocesan Officers attending events that would benefit the council or member(s), particularly from a professional development or education perspective.
  • Provincial Officers requesting to attend events outside the Budget.
  1. Follow these steps when applying for a subsidy:
  • Complete an Application Form, being as specific with details as possible.
  • Send the Application to the CWL Alberta Mackenzie Provincial Council’s Professional Development/Education Fund Committee (as indicated on the Application Form).
  • Applications must be received at least one week before a Provincial Executive Meeting (mailed, faxed or e-mailed).
  • Applicants will be notified of the status of their request within one week after a Provincial Executive Meeting.
  1. Within two weeks of completion of the event, submit a report to the Fund Committee (approximately one page written, plus financial statement with expenses and receipts), along with a cheque (payable to CWL Alberta Mackenzie Provincial Council) for any unused portion of the subsidy.
