Local Specialist Associations:

Local Specialist Associations(LSAs) can apply for a $350 seed fund in their first year and can access a further $250 a year thereafter.  LSA funds will be held in trust by the STA.  To withdraw money from the trust account, two signatures are required.  LSA funds roll over from year to year to a maximum of $2000.  If an LSA would like to host a Pro-D event, they can apply for further funding from the Group Application Fund.  LSA Presidents may attend the annual Pro-D Rep training session, subject to STA approval.  Individual claims for LSA fees shall not be funded.

LSA Funds can be used for:

-Projects undertaken by the LSA

-Meeting expenses

-Bringing in a speaker
