Dear NWOEA
UniServ Consultants and Council Chairs,
The
Professional Development Committee (PDC) of Northwestern Ohio
Education Association is
offering
each UniServ Council up to two UniServ Workshop Training Grants for
the 2011-2012 school year. Each council may hold its own training
sessions, or a number of councils may combine and pull more funds
together. NWOEA will pay up to $400 per council for the actual
expenses incurred for each training session. Each council is
permitted to hold up to two training workshops at two different
times throughout the year until the funds are exhausted.
The intent
of this funding is to provide training for local associations in
such areas as: grievance processing, local professional development
committees, licensure, negotiations, OEA Fund for Children and
Public Education drives, campaigning for local/state endorsed
candidates, association business, effects of new legislation, or
other areas of professional development of interest to your council
members. A dinner may be served with the sessions, but it may not
be the focus of the meeting. See the enclosed flier for
guidelines. Also enclosed is a copy of the 2011-2012 NWOEA Calendar
to avoid conflicts when scheduling your workshop.
The PDC will
meet to review applications and to decide on approval or denial of
the grant applications four times a year. The deadlines for the
2011-2012 year are as follows: October 10, February 6, April 16 and
August 1. Please plan ahead and adjust your schedule accordingly.
Applications will be approved or denied and the councils will be
notified of their status after the PDC screening meeting.
A copy of
the evaluation form that your workshop participants will use must
accompany your grant request. After the workshop a summary of the
completed evaluations and the final cost report with copies of
receipts are to be forwarded to the NWOEA Center. Once these
materials have been reviewed and accepted, a reimbursement check for
the actual expenses up to the approved amount will be issued.
If you have
any questions, please feel free to call the NWOEA Center at
1-800-366-9632. I can be reached by phone at 419-215-0917 or email,
mlong330 @woh.rr.com. Joyce Wisebaker, NWOEA Executive Director,
can also be reached by e-mail at nwoea_wisebaker@sbcglobal.net. I
look forward to working with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
Long
NWOEA VP and
PDC Chair
