Governance- UniServ Grant

 

September 3, 2009 

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 2009-2010 school year.  Each council may hold its own training sessions, or a number of councils may combine and pull more funds together as has been done by some councils in the past.  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. 

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 2009-2010 year are as follows: October 12, February 8, April 19, and August 3.  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 participants will use must accompany your grant request.  After the workshop a summary of the completed evaluations along with your expense form is to be forwarded to the NWOEA Center.  At this time, a reimbursement check for the actual expenses up to $400 will be issued. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the NWOEA Center at 1-800-36-NWOEA.  I can be reached by phone at 419-447-6257 or email, jschlick91@hotmail.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,

Jerry Schlick
NWOEA VP and PDC Chair
