Task Force History

This task force was originally called Scholarship and the first to be given was the Dogwise John Fisher Essay Award.  The goal was to encourage members to write an essay and reward the efforts of the winner with a free pass to the annual conference.

We were given the charge by Dr. Ian Dunbar at the Long Range Planning Meeting in 1999 to have 9 award programs in place and are working toward that goal. We need sponsors for the awards to reach this goal.  If you know a company or individual who would be interested in sponsoring an APDT award in the future, let us know!

Task Force Current Activities

Nominations information for 2011 can be found at the Award

Task Force Mission

The primary charge of the task force will be the selection of scholarship winners based on the criteria set forth by APDT Board.
