The 13th Annual April Award

The April Award brings colleagues new to audience research and evaluation to their first Visitor Studies Conference. This award was generously established by Dr. Marilyn Hood to honor the memory of her longtime research assistant, April Lahm.  The 2009 April Award consists of complimentary conference registration and a $500 travel stipend. April Award recipients share VSA’s passion for improving the quality of visitor experiences. Help VSA nurture this new talent and grow the association by encouraging eligible candidates to apply for the April Award.  Download an application form.
