IAHPC Membership Matters
Your membership makes a world of difference.
Prizes a Highlight of Members’ Recognition Month
October is our Members’ Recognition Month, when we highlight the vital function that our members play in the advancement of our mission and formally acknowledge their support. IAHPC will be awarding one prize in each of the following two categories:
Recognizing Loyalty
Goal: to maintain the loyalty of members by giving a prize to those individuals and institution(s) who keep their memberships active over the years.
Conditions: The prize will be an IAHPC Traveling Scholarship or Traveling Fellowship of $2,000 USD. The winner will be assigned through a raffle among the members that meet the eligibility criteria.
Eligibility: Open to current IAHPC members (individuals and institutions) who have kept their membership active for at least two consecutive years by 31 October 2019. Institutions may be represented by a single designated individual.
Increasing Membership
Goal: to increase the number of members by giving a prize to the current member who brings the highest number of new or renewed members.
Conditions: The prize will be an IAHPC Travelling Scholarship or Traveling Fellowship of $2,000 USD. The current member who brings the highest number of new or renewed individual and/or institutional members until 31 October 2019 will be the winner.
Eligibility: Open to current IAHPC members (individuals and institutions). Since institutions have three staff members who benefit from the membership, institutional members must identify one staff member as their representative to participate in the Membership Recognition Award.
Anindividual member will count as 1 point toward the Membership Recognition Award. An institution will count as 2 points.
Note: IAHPC staff members, relatives and directors are not eligible to participate.
