ISHA Conference
Scholarships
ISHA offers scholarships for members to attend our summer and winter conferences — furthering professional development without the budget barrier.
Supported by AHLA — The American Hotel & Lodging Association. Conference scholarships are made possible through the generous support of AHLA, helping ISHA members access world-class professional development.
The sessions and programming offered at our annual summer meeting and winter conference include top-notch association management professionals, with topics such as membership recruiting and retention, nonprofit tax law, communications, lobbying, board and committee management, and much more. Our roundtable sessions provide an excellent stage for members to share ideas with each other.
Recognizing that budgets are always a challenge, ISHA offers scholarships to members to attend the summer and winter conferences. This scholarship program is intended for everyone — states with limited budgets whose executive directors are not typically able to attend should consider applying, as well as those states whose executive directors may attend but wish to send key staff members who would benefit from the conference experience.
- Priority is given to associations who bring additional staff, first-time applicants, and new CEOs or staff members.
- Honor System: no financial data required.
- Recipients must attend the entire conference and supply a post-conference testimonial.
- Scholarship may be used for expenses related to attending the conference: travel, lodging, and registration.
- Scholarship proceeds will be paid by check following the conference.
- Must be a current member of ISHA to apply.
