The Foundation recently awarded our first Open Membership Chapter Leader Scholarship for 2013!
Dorcas Perez, Grants Administrator with the Town of Miami Lakes Florida, was selected by the Foundation’s Scholarship Selection Committee for this exciting honor. This scholarship is the direct result of listening to Chapter leaders who told us about the challenges of retaining great members due to the economy. A portion of the funds we collected through the 2012 Every Chapter Challenge was set aside to fund the new Open Membership Scholarship.
