In order to better serve the interests and needs of MEISA members, the MEIEA Board will entertain proposals from registered MEISA chapters to host MEIEA sponsored regional events.  The focus of such proposals should be to plan, produce, and report on a regional conference that will enhance the knowledge and understanding of the industry for MEISA student attendees.

The proposal must contain:

•    Mission statement for the Conference
•    Contact information for MEISA chapter(s) faculty advisor(s)
•    Contact information for local chapter MEISA officers
•    Brief but concise description including the location, dates, and possible speakers
•    List of persons who will work to host the conference
•    Itemized detail of request funds
•    Estimated overall (total) budget
•    Proof of support from a faculty advisor that will oversee the conference.


Funding for Regional Conferences

Some suggestions for funding sources for Regional Conferences are your associated student government association, college activity funds, or the MEIEA Grant program.  MEISA grants may be used to support a variety of activities intended to advance student education in the music and entertainment industries and may include--but are not limited to--regional conferences, workshops, guest speaker support, networking mixers, community service projects, mentoring programs, chapter membership drives, etc.
