Specialty Sections, Special Interest Group, and Committees to Select 2010 SOT Endowment Fund Award Recipients

Twenty-five Specific Purpose Endowment Funds are available to provide awards at the 2010 SOT Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City. These 21 funds have achieved contributions of $25,000 or more, meeting the definition of Permanently Restricted, and will be available forever to provide annual awards! The Specialty Sections (SS), Special Interest Groups (SIG), and Committees (C) aligned with and involved in selecting the award recipients are summarized in the table below.

There are currently six funds that need your help and contributions in order to reach the Permanently Restricted status so that they may issue awards at our 50th Anniversary meeting in 2011 and beyond. There are two General Purpose Funds (International Activities Fund, Student Travel Fund) and four Specific Purpose Funds (Angelo Furgiuele Young Investigator Technology Award Fund, Harry W. Hays Memorial Fund, Regulatory and Safety Evaluation Student Awards Fund, and the newest Ronald G. Thurman Student Travel Award Fund). Remember that contributions made by December 31, 2009, will be matched by the SOT 50th Anniversary Match.

Learn more about these funds and how you can make an impact by viewing the most recent Endowment Fund Annual Report. You can also learn how to create a new fund by consulting the SOT Endowment Web page.
