2024 Exchange Program Application
The IPPS Western/New Zealand Regions Young Professional Exchange Fellowship is a unique opportunity for a member of the IPPS-Western Region to travel to New Zealand as a guest of the IPPS-New Zealand Region. While in New Zealand, the recipient will have the opportunity to interact with plant producers and represent the Western Region at the New Zealand Region Annual Conference. Most importantly, the recipient will act as an ambassador of the Western Region in fostering professional interaction and good will between the two associations. The fellowship will cover travel, room, and board costs to Australia and New Zealand.
The exchange visit will begin with the IPPS-New Zealand Region Annual Conference. The recipient will be hosted by members of the New Zealand Region for a visit of (at least) 2 weeks (before or following the conference)
To apply, please completely fill out the following application. If in doubt, provide more information rather than less information. The IPPS-Western Region Executive Committee will award the fellowship based primarily on the information provided here.
