Established by SSA in 2021, the State Partnerships and Outreach Fund helps cover SSA members’ costs when presenting at academic and professional meetings of allied professions. The Fund is also to be used for SSA session sponsorships at state and regional historical associations’ annual conferences. SSA has set aside $3,000 a year to support such endeavors, and all requests for funding will be reviewed by three SPOC members, the SSA treasurer, and one SSA board member (all who are not applying for funds).
