WICT Leadership Conference
Washington, D.C.
April 1-2, 2009

In these tight financial times, WICT Atlanta recognizes that it may be difficult for our members to take advantage of all the wonderful leadership development opportunities that WICT offers.  To support our membership, we are offering one full-tuition scholarship, covering all conference fees, plus up to $750 in travel expenses, to a deserving WICT Atlanta chapter member.   As we go through this year, we will continue to offer scholarships to many other events.   Please keep an eye out for these opportunities.
