WILS Chi Chapter Awards Three Conference Scholarships
At many of our local Chi Chapter events and meetings, we host a Scholarship Raffle. Over the course of 2023, through the generosity of our members and event attendees our chapter raised over $1,500 for the scholarship fund.
In 2024, three scholarships have been granted, allowing professionals in parks and recreation the opportunity to attend conferences to further their professional development.
Congratulations to our latest WILS Scholarship recipients:
- Haley Carr, Skokie Park District, to attend the IAPD/IPRA Soaring to New Heights Conference
- Sydney Czoka, Northwest Special Recreation Association, to attend the Iowa Inclusive and Therapeutic Recreation Association Conference
- Ashley Martinez, Glencoe Park District, to attend the IAPD/IPRA Soaring to New Heights Conference
