TAICEP also has sponsorship opportunities specific to our annual conferences, and those opportunities may be found on the conference website each year. For conference sponsorship opportunities, please visit the conference registration website.
General Sponsorship
Funds donated to the General Sponsorship fund will go to where it is most needed in the organization.
Professional Development Sponsorship
The Professional Development fund is used to support the:
*Certificate Program. TAICEP’s certificate program is one of the most exciting and necessary things to happen in the field of international education credential evaluation. This fund will, in part, assure that this program develops and expands.
*Research Program. One of TAICEP’s primary goals is to, “Conduct research and disseminate information that supports the profession.” The Professional Development fund will, in part, help TAICEP keep the profession up-to-date with research projects.
*Travel/Opportunity Grants. TAICEP attracts a considerable number of members who are new to the field and could greatly benefit from a little help for travel grants, conference attendance and other professional development opportunities. In addition, opportunities come up for seasoned professionals who may not be able to secure funding for more advanced opportunities. The Professional Development fund will be used, in part, to help develop our members learning and advancing in our field.
Information Structure Sponsorship
TAICEP’s medium-to-long-term future needs to be addressed, and this fund will ensure that TAICEP will be able to respond and plan for the needs of the organization to ensure credential evaluators around the world are well served. We have particular need to raise $25,000 to replace our website, hosting services and membership systems.
Designated and In Memoriam Sponsorships
This option may be used by members or funding entities who wish to fund a particular project approved by TAICEP’s Board of Directors and not covered in other sponsorship categories. It may also be used for In Memoriam sponsorships. If you wish to contribute for a designated purpose, please contact TAICEP’s executive director, Robert Prather, at answers@taicep.org, with the details of your wishes.
