Participation will primarily be in-person, with some business conducted virtually over email.
We are seeking 1 leader for this role.
This leader may have experience in finance, higher education, management, or simply an interest in learning and leading for this role.
Our organization is very excited to begin a college scholarship program to support our newest alumni as they embark on the next stages of their
education. We have a committee of five members who are looking for a leader to help guide this process. This inaugural year will require a fair
amount of research and planning, and should be the foundation of a program we can build for many years to come.
