Dependent Care Grants
The HEAD Executive Committee, along with the AAS, are committed to helping HEAD members with dependents attend HEAD meetings. Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, the HEAD Executive Committee is pleased to offer up to eight grants of $400 each to help offset dependent care costs for meeting attendees. These costs might include caregiver costs at the meeting or at home, or other expenses associated with dependent travel. Dependent care grant applications are due by Friday, 9 June.

Hope you can join us in Sun Valley!
