Based on the input we received from you during the 2009 USCA -- What's Your Take Survey and the April 8, 2009 Stakeholder Conference Call, USCA has introduced a new scholarship opportunity called "Option C," which will provide: complimentary registration, transportation and hotel accommodations. Please note the following:

• USCA Option C scholarship applications are only being accepted online.
• The deadline is Friday, May 15, 2009.
• Those applicants not selected for Option C are automatically considered for Option A and B scholarships.
• Option C is open only to NMAC individual members, and those who are employees of an NMAC member agency. If you are interested in becoming a member or are unsure of your agency's membership status, click here, or send an e-mail to members@nmac.org. Otherwise, call (202) 483-NMAC (6622) ext. 102 or 325.

USCA Abstracts Due April 24

Submit your USCA abstract on or before the April 24th deadline either online or by downloading a PDF of form. Those whose abstracts are selected receive a range of benefits, including complimentary conference registration and paid hotel nights (for seminars and workshops).
