Foundation Scholarships

“Since I did not budget in advance for the 2011 CEO Forum, I would not have been able to attend without the assistance from the WACVB Foundation’s Rosalind Williams Scholarship for CEOs and senior staff.  I am forever grateful for the opportunity to attend such a tremendous event.”    

~ Aaron M. McCreight,
CEO, Casper Area CVB
