Apply today: ACFO-ACAF’s CT Symposium lottery for regional members
ACFO-ACAF is happy to announce that the CT Symposium lottery for regional members is back for another year!
This year, ten lucky members of the CT Community who live outside the National Capital Region (NCR) will be selected via lottery to attend the CT Symposium in Ottawa, taking place October 23–24. Constraints posed by limited travel budgets within your departments have historically made it nearly impossible for members in the regions to attend events in the NCR, which is why we’ve elected to bring you here ourselves.
What winners will receive
The selection process will be fair and transparent, as winners will be chosen using a lottery system. Winners will receive a comprehensive package, including:
- Free in-person registration to the CT Symposium;
- Three nights of hotel accommodations from October 22 to 25;
- Travel expenses (either a plane or train ticket depending on your location); and
- Meal allowances throughout your trip.
While we’re thrilled to offer this opportunity, it’s important that our lottery winners fully engage with the event. Therefore, it will be mandatory that you attend both days of the CT Symposium as well as our Annual General Meeting the evening of October 23.
Eligibility
The following ACFO-ACAF members are not eligible to take part in this lottery:
- ACFO-ACAF members who have previously participated in the JCDP Interchange program;
- ACFO-ACAF volunteer ambassadors;
- Acting ACFO-ACAF members whose substantive position is not within the CT classification;
- ACFO-ACAF members who have had their travel expenses to the NCR covered by ACFO-ACAF within the past five years; and/or
- ACFO-ACAF members who live in the NCR.
