The Barry Izsak/Glorya Schklair Conference Scholarship Fund
Established in 2012, the Barry Izsak/Glorya Schklair Conference Scholarship Fund provides financial support to provide a complimentary full-conference registration to no less than two NAPO Members to attend each NAPO conference starting with NAPO2013. Each funded conference registration will provide one NAPO Industry Member with access to the educational courses and professional skill development opportunities that are only available to the attendees of NAPO conferences. Scholarship award recipients are responsible for all transportation, hotel, meals and other travel expenses related to attending the conference.
The Barry Izsak/Glorya Schklair Conference Scholarship Fund directly supports the educational mission of NAPO by providing access to the educational experience of conference for the benefit of Industry Members who otherwise may not be able to attend due to financial or other extenuating circumstances. This fund was endowed through the generosity of Barry Izsak, NAPO President 2003-2007.
