College Professional Development Fund for Classified ($25,000) 2001-2002 Once you have exhausted your own Personal Professional Development funds, you may apply for additional money from the College Professional Development Fund for Classified Staff. We encourage you to investigate alternate funding resources, because under the new plan you can no longer borrow funds from other classified employees. This College Professional Development Fund may be used for the following purposes: LISTNUM 1 \l 1 \s 1 Conferences and workshops (A trip may be funded by a combination of the $150 and these funds). LISTNUM 1 \l 1 Tuition (This will be funded only after all travel monies have been allotted and after there is no more money available to you through Tuition Assistance.) The maximum amount that will be awarded is $800 per classified employee, per fiscal year. You can request money for more than one activity throughout the year, as long as the grand total doesn(t exceed $800. A separate committee, the Professional Development Committee, will be appointed by the Classified Association to evaluate all requests. Members of this committee may not apply for funds from the CPDF. To be considered for these funds, you must apply to the Professional Development Committee of the Classified Association. The form on the attached page should be sent to the chair of the Association, or the same information may be sent by e-mail. A priority system will be used to weigh the requests. The following is a list of priorities in descending order of importance: a. Will the requestor be making a presentation at the conference, or is the requestor an executive officer in the association? b. Is this conference part of a job requirement? c. Will the conference be of benefit to the college, as well as to the requestor? d. Tuition The first deadline for applications for CPDF money will be August 1. Applications received by this date will be prioritized and monies awarded by August 15. The next deadline will be November 30. A decision will be announced prior to December 15, to either set a new deadline, or to make subsequent awards on a first come-first served basis. Application may be made for either Fall or Spring Semesters. (Travel in the month of June may come out of next year(s budget.) NOTE: Updated spreadsheets will be provided to campus business offices monthly by the Classified Association(s Professional Development Committee. NOTE: IN A MEETING OF THE CLASSIFIED ASSOCIATION JULY 2, 2001, the members discussed the point and agreed that the Classified Professional Development Committee would accept applications beginning this date and would award funding without regard to the submission deadlines as listed above, to avoid complications for classified staff in seeking authorization or in reimbursement.
