[Communications] CCGA conference scholarships follow up

[Amy Olson]

Hi Mamie - I’ll support whatever number of scholarship everyone decides is appropriate for our event. When you receive a request, let me know and I can make the ticket link for that attendee. I was initially thinking that I would create all the tickets ahead of time and provide you with the links, but I can do it as the requests arrive if needed.

BTW Amy, I must have misunderstood the final understanding on “scholarship tickets” (free tickets), which was no need for funding for tickets since they can be processed as free; leaving prepaid registration fees in the general CCGA budget, and requesting sponsors to cover expenses other than scholarships.  In other words, Sponsor X, in the past, has donated $250 for scholarships and $250 for T-Shirts, can now donate $500 for T-Shirts or whatever. Am I wrong? Mamie
