The fund supports their participation in the many activities offered by the Guild by covering their WCG membership for the year and reduced registration for all WCG-sponsored workshops and conferences. Recipients also have the opportunity to speak at the Intern/Fellow meeting in spring.
In return, recipients are asked to assist the WCG board with meeting administration, like writing meeting summaries, manning the donation table, or clean-up after receptions. These are great opportunities for emerging conservators to network with area professionals and learn more about our field. The application is available here at this link: Sidney S. Williston Memorial Fund Application
Alternatively, you may send the following information to interns@washingtonconservationguild.org:

- Name and position of applicant
- Applicant’s local mailing address, email address, and telephone number
- Brief description (half page max) of applicant’s qualifications and of their upcoming internship/fellowship project/scope.
Award recipients will be announced via email and at the November meeting.
