Since PgUS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, there are restrictions how funding can be used. One such way is to award grants to provide a learning experience by development of a well defined deliverable. are you paying the mentors? > Honestly, I hadn't considered the possibility of funding mentors. I'll have to raise this question with PgUS to see if there is a provision for this. However at this point-in-time, I am only proposing funding the reviewer. The utlimate goal is to add more people to the ranks of reviewers. > Are the mentors restricted to being US members? > The mentors can be anyone. If the possibility exists that PgUS can fund mentors, then prospective mentors will need to be or become members of PgUS. -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.
