Each applicant must:

Be assigned to training duties, either full time or part time, as part of their regularly assigned duties.

Include a letter of recommendation from the head of their agency or institution that the institution is unable to fund the ILEETA Conference for the applicant, that the applicant will be allowed the time off, and that the skills or knowledge attained will be used in training agency personnel.
