Support Request

Is the request for a conference or meeting? Yes

Conference/Meeting Name: Region V Conference

Hotel/Conference Center Name: Middle Tennessee State University

Provide justification for this request.

Our center is a very small one with limited funds. I donate a great portion of my time and talent for our program and usually pay my own way for any events that I am able to attend. The past couple of years have been very difficult for me financially. I lost my job when my employer filed bankruptcy, I went back to school for a degree, my husband lost his job when his employer moved the company overseas and he is still trying to find employment. I cannot afford to go to this conference and our struggling little center can’t afford to send me. Our center can benefit from my attending this conference. I can take what I learn at the conference and share with our Board of Directors, Barn Manager, Volunteers and most importantly, our riders. I feel the topics offered are extremely important to our center and will improve our program which will in turn be beneficial to our riders, volunteers and equine. Another benefit will be meeting other PATH members, learning from their experiences and sharing what I have learned in my experiences. Any financial help could very well mean the difference in my going or not. Please consider me for the scholarship. Thank you!
