Incentive Award—First Time Attendees
The IGAEA Annual Conference Incentive Awards Program (IAP) is designed to offer an inducement to members to attend their first IGAEA Annual Conference. IGAEA hopes by encouraging and assisting members to attend their first annual conference, more members will become better acquainted with the benefits of active participation in the work of the association. The IGAEA Annual Conference is a unique event. The actual conference program, the fact that it is held during the summer usually on a college campus, and the diversity of educators who attend and participate all combine to make this annual conference a most unusual and beneficial affair.
