TABPI Offers International
Scholarship
ASBPE is cosponsor; entry
deadline is April 28.
ASBPE
is proud to help sponsor
Trade, Association and
Business
Publications International
(TABPI)’s Young
Leaders Scholarship.
The scholarship has been
created to maintain interest
in the B2B publishing
world with younger editors
who are advancing in
their editorial careers.
It allows
younger editors — who
might otherwise be unable — to
attend an educational
B2B editorial event.
This
year's scholarship
is to attend the ASBPE
Editorial Conference,
scheduled for July
19-21, 2006 in Chicago,
Illinois,
USA. The conference
contains an evening
networking event
on July 19, followed
by two full days
of
intensive
editorial sessions
on topics that will include:
- useful seminars,
panel discussions,
and workshops
targeted at
editors of business,
trade, and
association
print
and Web publications.
- a chance to network
with
fellow business
editors in
an interactive
setting designed
for editors.
- top-notch,
cutting-edge speakers.
These
scholarships are open
to all
business editors,
including
print and Web, who work outside of the United States
(for editors in
the United States,
ASBPE
sponsors a similar scholarship).
The TABPI scholarships
pay the conference and
hotel room costs for
up to two worthy
applicants
per year, along with up to $500 toward airfare costs.
Transportation to and from the conference, any nonconference
meals, and
other incurred costs are the responsibility of the
winners or their
individual publishing
companies. The scholarship
is not transferable to other persons or events.
Applicants
for TABPI’s international
Young Leaders Scholarship
must meet the following
qualifications:
- Are 30 years of
age or younger (as
of
July 19, 2006).
- Are currently
a business publication
editor,
and have been
so for a minimum of
two years.
- Candidacy is sponsored
