Hello,
I’m applying for this stipend for AAJA 2023 due to my current financial status. I’m the main provider for a family of four living in San Jose, and money is certainly tight these days. Last year, my employer (Bally Sports/Sinclair) sponsored me for AAJA 22 in L.A. However, given Bally Sports’ ongoing bankruptcy, it’s unclear at the moment if they will send me again this summer.
As the Sports Task Force chair, I surely want to be present at convention to assure things run smoothly and to connect with piers while also attending panels. But I will have a difficult time fully covering convention costs out of pocket and thus would refrain from going. Should I receive a stipend from the Bay Area chapter, I would definitely go and certainly fulfill the volunteer requirement as well.
Thank you
