We know that by investing in a student’s education today, our association will reap benefits tomorrow. The future CEOs, business managers and other professionals that we will need to drive the economy, create jobs and provide professional services for our communities are in school today. That is why the Washington, D.C. Chapter has provided about $50,000 in scholarship funds to local high school, undergraduate and graduate students in the last five years alone.
