This letter serves as a guideline for application submission and outlines the process including scoring criteria. Please note that the meeting process will be different than previous SPLIT annual meetings in that the host site organizers will be collaborating and giving input to TTS/SPLIT who will be providing the meeting.

Applicants may be asked to discuss their proposal on an Application Selection call. Please send your center’s complete application packet to Katie Tait at katie.tait@tts.org by March 15, 2025. Council approved site selection will be announced at the 29th Annual SPLIT Meeting on May 1-2, 2025 in Washington DC. Sites that are not selected will have the option to be added to the selection pool for the following 2 years.

• Please note recommendations for meeting space, either in-house or at an outside venue.
• Information highlighting your center including:
  • Membership and involvement in SPLIT
