Presidents’ Assistants for Community and Technical
Colleges (PACTC) - Request for Development and
Training
GUIDELINES & PROCEDURES
Introduction
In order to evaluate requests for training funds in an
equitable and objective manner, the PACTC Professional
Development/Budget Committee has developed a rating
process. To assure timely consideration for funding,
please submit your request by the following deadline
dates: April 15, August 15 or December 15. All requests
for funds will receive a response within thirty (30) days.
Funds are available to annual dues-paying PACTC
members. Applications will be accepted beginning in April
2006. NOTE: The number of awards given each year will
be based upon the PACTC budget, which will be approved
at each spring meeting.
CONTINGENCY: Exceptional training opportunities of a
unique nature will be considered after a deadline has
passed if both exceptions below are met:
1. The PACTC member did not become aware of the
training activity prior to the established deadline dates.
2. The PACTC member’s institution demonstrates strong
support for the training opportunity by committing matching
funds.
Any changes to procedures, application or funding will be
approved by the PACTC Professional Development/
Budget Committee.
53
Restrictions
1. PACTC member must have completed one year in
current position before applying for development and
training funds.
2. Normally, the annual funding limit will be $500 per
person – scheduled to occur between January 1 and
December 31 of a given year. After a PACTC member has
received funding, subsequent requests will be considered
every other year in order to give everyone an equal
opportunity to benefit from the program.
3. The PACTC Professional Development/Budget
Committee may fund larger amounts per training activity if:
(a) Development/Training funds are available; and, (b)
extraordinary benefit can be demonstrated in the
application.
Application Process
1. Funding may be sought for the following:
a. Payment of workshop, seminar or conference fees.
b. Payment of travel expenses associated with a training
activity (airfare, mileage, hotel, etc.)
2. Complete a “Request for Professional Development and
Training” form. Clearly and completely explain how the
training activity will benefit PACTC and you. Attach an
additional page, if needed. Answer all questions on the
form.
3. Attach to the form a copy of the flyer or other
explanation of the training activity. (Requests may be sent
back to the PACTC member if additional information is
needed.)
54
4. The Professional Development/Budget Committee will
review all requests.
5. Requests should be submitted electronically or via mail
to the Professional Development/Budget Committee –
Chair.
6. If the request is approved, payment will be made
directly to the PACTC member’s institution in advance of
the training activity. In the event the approved amount is
not used as intended, applicant agrees to refund the
monies to PACTC.
Evaluation Process
1. Eligibility for funds will be determined on the basis of
these criteria:
a. Amount of funding requested for the training activity.
b. Commitment of matching funds from the PACTC
member’s institution.
2. Once eligibility is established, the amount of funds
requested may be further evaluated on the basis of these
criteria:
a. Does the training activity improve or enhance the
PACTC member’s current position within their institution?
b. Can this training activity be accomplished through a
different venue?
c. Will this training activity benefit the other PACTC
members?
