Given the intense discussions about domestic violence we've had lately here at Change.org, I thought it appropriate to share this opportunity:

Mary Byron Project is a national non-profit organization with a core mission of eliminating domestic violence. The agency is named in honor of the young woman whose murder led to the creation of VINE (www.vinelink.com ), now used in 2,300 communities in 47 states to notify crime victims when their offenders are released from jail.

The Mary Byron Project will host a National Summit to End Domestic Violence on November 8 - 10, 2009 in Louisville, Kentucky. This one-time-only event will showcase innovative programs from across the country that are proving successful in ending domestic violence. Fifty scholarships to attend the Summit have been made available. Recipients will receive a $500 stipend, $300 of which will cover the cost of registration and meals, and the remaining $200 can be used for airfare, hotel, or other travel expenses. Applicants can use the attached form to apply; the deadline is Friday, October 9, 2009.

You can find details at www.marybyronproject.org/NationalSummit.html.
