The INA Membership Conference Endowment was developed as a way to recognize our members for their dedication to the in-home child care industry.
Through the 2013 INA Membership Conference Endowment, which will run February 15 – March 1, 2013, INA is pleased to offer full conference registration (a $295 value) to four INA members. Two full conference registrations will be given to those in the business category and two, in the caregiver category.
Started in 2011, the INA Member Conference Endowment secured its initial funding from half of all monies raised through the 2011 INA Annual Conference 50/50 raffle. INA is pleased to continue earmarking half of all monies raised in future Annual Conference 50/50 raffles to the INA Member Conference Endowment fund. As tradition, the other half of all monies raised will continue to go towards supporting a local children’s charity in the city where INA’s Annual Conference is held. The charity for this year’s Annual Conference is Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS). The mission of VIPS is to offer appropriate services to infants, toddlers and preschoolers who are visually impaired or blind, and to their families. The goal is to maximize each child’s developmental potential through direct services, advocacy and community education. Find out more about VIPS by visiting their website www.vips.org .
