Previous aasp Scholarship recipients on the experience of participating in Summit and the benefits of the Scholarship program:
“In my decades of career experience, there is nothing quite like the boost you get from membership in a professional member association. I’m in my second year of aasp membership, and this association and its programming easily rival the best of the best. The aasp leadership? Oh so intelligent, experienced, and willing to help! The association’s premiere event, the annual “Summit?” Inspiring! Orienting! Energizing! Informing!
I attended Summit 2021 as a newbie to aasp and this conference met my needs wonderfully. I work in a small, private, liberal arts university and I wear hats like Prospect Researcher, Analytics Guru, Predictive Modeler/Statistics Guy, VSE Survey Completer, Dashboard Builder, and, on a good day, Data Wrangler Extraordinaire (well, in my dreams at least). Small shop means a small budget for professional development. The many-hats-small-budget scenario means I must very carefully choose one association.
I’m patting myself on the back for making the aasp decision. I won a scholarship to attend Summit 2021. What a wonderful thing! I’m truly reaping benefits even a year later because of the connections I made and the things I learned at that
conference. It didn’t stop there, and, dare I say, never will. I’m hooked for life! Thank you aasp!”

 “As a 2022 aasp scholarship recipient, I was so grateful for the opportunity to attend the Summit. Bat Conservation International is a small organization, and the scholarship allowed me to further my professional development without putting a dent in our program budget. I learned relevant, up-to-date information; I met intelligent, helpful, knowledgeable peers; I experienced a dynamic, engaging, welcoming conference. I definitely hope to be back for Summit 2023!”
– Lisa Murdock
"Thanks to aasp, my colleagues and I from The ALS Association Golden West Chapter were able to participate in the 2021 AASP Conference with the help of a scholarship. This scholarship allowed our Chapter to gain access to the conference without turning funds away from the people who we serve. It also allowed us to learn from and connect with many professionals around the country from the comfort of our own homes. During the most difficult times of the pandemic, AASP rose to the occasion and delivered a poignant and relevant program on a great platform.
The Golden West Chapter is dedicated to improving systems internally so that we can be more effective in finding cures and providing care to the people living with this horrible and fatal disease. Improving our systems means understanding best practices, learning how to implement them, and making sure that we have the right support in the long run. AASP has contributed to our success and continues to offer new ideas and metrics that guide us in our pursuit of excellence.
We are grateful to aasp and hope that many of you will join this wonderful organization. I highly recommend it!"
