By Jeanie Casison
The Society of Incentive and Travel Executives (SITE) and PRA Destination Management New York are looking for three up-and-coming incentive professionals worthy of the SITE Academy for Young Leaders 2008 Scholarship. According to Patrick Sullivan, president of PRA New York and president-elect of SITE, the scholarship "gives back to the young people in the industry and gives them more exposure to the incentive marketplace." Applicants must be deserving students or young people under the age of 35 with less than two years in the incentive industry; and submit a one-page essay on why they are pursuing a career in the incentive industry. The scholarship will allow winners to attend the Academy (August 3 to 6 in New York City), and include registration, three nights' housing and SITE membership through December 31, 2009.
