CLEVELAND – The International Collegiate Licensing Association (ICLA) is proud to announce the recipients of the 2022 ICLA Convention Stipend, presented by Fanatics. 

The 2022 ICLA Convention will take place June 26-29 at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. The ICLA Convention offers attendees an opportunity to attend educational and networking sessions that are held during the NACDA & Affiliates Convention week. The Convention Stipend award winners receive a monetary stipend to help cover expenses associated with registration, lodging, and travel for Convention.

"On behalf of the ICLA Board of Directors, it is my pleasure and honor to announce the 2022 Convention Stipend award winners," stated current ICLA President Karen Dertinger, director of licensing at The Ohio State University. "The stipend program is a great opportunity for current and prospective members of ICLA to participate at our event, especially as we experience such a budget-challenged environment. This program is a valuable benefit supporting one of the major pillars of ICLA: to provide collegiate licensing practitioners a broad range of professional advancement opportunities. I look forward to joining our stipend award winners in Las Vegas this June."
