The MVRCC has been engaged as a supporter and partner of Leadership Washington County since its inception and has granted scholarships to 16 Chamber members since 2004. “All of the Chamber scholarship winners not only graduated from their respective classes, [but] they also thoroughly enjoyed the experience,” said Deb Keefer, Executive Director. “We know that Diane will gain a wealth of information and make lifelong connections by attending the program.” The scholarship is funded through proceeds from the Melvin B. Bassi Memorial Golf Tournament.
Diane Holder presently serves on the Board of United Way of Washington County and on the Washington County Athena Award selection committee. “I hope to gain better leadership and teamwork skills as well as a better understanding of key aspects of Washington County, especially in the areas of government, economic development, and human services,” said Holder.
The first session of the program begins in August, and the LWC Class of 2016 will graduate in May. For more information on Leadership Washington County, visit www.palwc.org.
