Future Dairy Leader Scholarships
For the 2010 Pennsylvania Dairy Summit

Who Should Attend?
—Register All Key Dairy Personnel, in Addition to Owners

Thanks to WIB discounts you can bring your entire management team and obtain the greatest benefit by training everyone at the same time. One of the best parts is networking. The Summit is about everyone’s enthusiasm for dairy, not about the size of your herd and it is planned by people who know your needs from the inside: fellow producers, dairy suppliers and supporters, and dairy organizations.

Big Discounts Apply for Dairy Producers And Their Employees!

You can save $120 on each registration. Through a grant from the PA Department of Labor and Industry, administered by the Lancaster County Workforce Investment Board (WIB), dairy producers and their employees pay a significantly discounted registration fee. To help producers take advantage of the huge WIB discounts, the registration form has a special area for people who qualify. WIB requires producers using the discount to provide all the requested information including a valid Social Security number for each person. By using the WIB discount, you pay only $80 for the full conference including four meals, that’s a savings of $120.The WIB one-day registration fee is $55.

Scholarships Are Available For People Ages 17 - 25

To encourage young adults and students to register for the Dairy Summit, Scholarships are available for people 17 to 25 years of age through an $8,000 fund established by the Pennsylvania Dairymen’s Association and the Pennsylvania Dairy Stakeholders. You need not be a student to apply. These $55 “Dairy Leader Scholarships” can be combined with the $120 WIB discount (see above), leaving scholarship recipients responsible for only $25 of the Summit registration. Recipients of these scholarships may also apply for stipends to cover hotel costs during attendance at the Summit. Scholarship details and application forms are on the Summit website. The scholarship application deadline is December 31, 2009.
