The Susan Hewett Annual
GAA Scholarship Award
In appreciation of 25 years of dedication and service by Susan Hewett to MGAA, it was announced at the
25th Anniversary Celebration on May 9, 2013that MGAA will create this Scholarship Award to be
presented annually to an outstanding & deserving owner/manager member (s) of MGAA so that they may
attend the GAA Education Conference.
The Scholarship Award is to be initially funded in the amount of $1000 by the donations in the amount of
$250 each from following member donors:
 Colony Furniture Leasing;
 Cook’s Carpet Maintenance;
 Landmark Landscapes; and
 Redi-Floors.
In the event that other vendors may want to be included in donating to the scholarship award, or if a vendor
decides to no longer participate in donating to the scholarship award, the amount of the award may vary.
Donors will be announced at the meeting when the award is presented, on Facebook, and in the newsletter.
The scholarship award funds will be used to pay for registration, travel & lodging for the GAA Education
Conference for the winning owner/manager member.
At the August 2013 Board meeting, the board voted that the Scholarship Award would be based on essays
received from members in good standing with MGAA, and must include the following:
 Why I want to attend the conference;
 Show of enthusiasm about wanting to win and attend the conference; and
 Why I should be the winner.
OR: The Board can nominate a deserving person who has not applied for the scholarship.
The essays will be judged by board members based on:
 30% - based on attendance at MGAA functions (participant must keep a record of their
 participation which can be verified by the Executive Director);
 30% - based on the required essay; and
 40% - based on volunteering for MGAA, i.e. committees, board, PAC Fundraiser, Canned Food
Drive, Star Awards, etc (participant must keep a record of their volunteering in MGAA functions,
which can be verified by the Executive Director).
 The applicant must meet with the committee prior to winner being selected.
The winner will share their experience of attending the conference, and what they got out of the
conference. This will be shared in the newsletter and on social media.
The Board voted to award the 1st Scholarship Award for the 2014 GAA Education Conference.
Deadline for essays to be received each year will be June 30th.
