We won’t make this long since you should apply as you’re reading this, but the IRC team would be remiss to not express our gratitude to our community for getting us to this point. We’ve advocated tirelessly for the past year to make this program a reality, and today is the day it’s being brought to life. We’re committed to seeing this through and will continue to fight for our industry in the coming weeks and months—we’re just getting started!
Now go apply!
Thanks,
The IRC Team
