Chapter Scholarships
One of the founders, Jack Pittis, truly believed in education and training at all levels of public works organizations and was passionate in his support of the Washington Chapter's Scholarship Program, We are proud to continue his work with three scholarship opportunities. The Chapter's scholarships are funded by the golf tournaments typically held in Spring/Fall in conjunction with the conferences as well as outright donations from WA State organizations.
