The Sullivan Fund was established in 1998 by the Cooperative Communicators Association to give scholarships for training to CCA members and regions. The fund is named in honor of deceased, longtime member Shirley Sullivan, a senior editor at Southern States Cooperative. The Shirley K. Sullivan Fund offers educational grants to attend professional development seminars or classes and other leadership development activities such as statewide cooperative education, National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA), or Graduate Institute of Cooperative Leadership (GICL) programs.
