Scholarship Now Available The Golden Corridor Chapter of IAAP is sponsoring a scholarship for any administrative professional interested in pursuing the CAP and/or CAP-OM designation. Click on these links for more information regarding the scholarship criteria and application. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Retirement Trust Foundation Update: THANK YOU IAAP for your donations to the RTF for the past 50 years! Thanks to you, your chapter and division, we have built a healthy treasury. It all began in 1958 when Della Herring had a dream for a retirement center for us and donated the first dollar. Della’s dream became our dream and you made it come true with Vista Grande. Now in addition to Vista Grande, we have the HSAN program (Housing Subsidy for Admins in Need). HSAN provides financial assistance toward housing costs for any retired administrative professional living in a retirement community and meeting the housing assistance criteria.
This year, instead of fundraising, we have a different request. Instead of raising money, we are asking you to help us give it away! We need your help to raise awareness of the HSAN program and increase grant applications. The next deadline is quickly approaching on November 15th. Go to www.iaap-rtf.org for more information.
