The Awards Committee is responsible for the administration of any grant program established by the KAMM Board.  KAMM will allocate funds towards a grant program for its members on an annual basis or as directed by the Board.  These grants may vary by year depending on KAMM’s budget and the availability of funds. 

Grants responsibilities of the Awards Committee may include:  

  • Advertise the availability of grant funding
