The purpose of the Candidate Guidance Committee is to discuss issues impacting Candidates for Designation, to enhance communications among Candidates of the Chapter and between Candidates for Designation and the Regional and national organizations, to encourage Candidates to complete the designation process and to develop future leaders for the Chapter and the organization as a whole.
There is an annual Rio Grande Chapter Scholarship available to chapter Candidates working toward either the SRA or MAI designation. A full description of the scholarship application criteria is available on the Chapter website (http://ai-riogrande.org).
We encourage all Candidates to attend chapter meetings, but acknowledge that meetings in Albuquerque are not possible for many of you. For more information regarding this committee, or if you have questions or suggestions for how we might make the Rio Grande Chapter Candidate Guidance committee more effective in serving you, contact Michael Dry, at (505) 988-8059, ,
