Mentor Recognition Programs
Mentor Recognition Program: This gives AMSA members a unique avenue to recognize mentors or colleagues who have influenced their professional careers. The program allows individuals to recognize their mentors by making a financial contribution designated for special activities in the name of the honored person. Some mentor programs choose to fund scholarships, grants, or awards. Others underwrite hands-on learning opportunities like competitive education, internships, and RMC symposia.
Memorial Funds: These are gifts made in memory of a loved one, friend, or colleague. The Memorial Funds benefit the AMSA Council's Innovation Fund, which underwrites and grows programs and services of the AMSA and has the potential to reach the broadest audience.
