Foundation Scholarships
The W.A.C.E. Foundation is once again offering a number of scholarships for the association’s annual conference, which will be held at the Renaissance Resort in Glendale, AZ, on February 2–4, 2022.
The Foundation is offering the Steve Rose Memorial Scholarship Award, a $1,500 professional development scholarship for a W.A.C.E member CEO with 10 or more years’ experience in the chamber business.
After receiving a generous gift from the Steve Rose estate, the members of the Foundation Board created this scholarship to encourage chamber executives to follow in Rose’s footsteps and continually upgrade and expand their skills through professional development.
