Support a TAFP Activity
TAFP offers several avenues for you to support an activity.
Live CME
TAFP organizes four major symposia each year as well as numerous PrimeCME™ one-hour and multi-hour programs. Each of these programs offers multiple opportunities to support one or more topics to be discussed at the programs.
Educational grants support speaker honorarium and travel, brochure printing and postage, syllabus printing, facility and audio-visual equipment rental, accreditation fee, food and beverage (when applicable), and a small management fee.
Educational grantors receive acknowledgement on/in the TAFP website, the program syllabi, the on-site signage, the on-site materials, the educational slide show that runs in the general session rooms, and the verbal announcements in the general session rooms.
Contact Jessica Miley for more information on symposia support or Laurel Catlin to support a PrimeCME™ event.
