Scholarship Awards Night Is a Success

The chapter held its annual Awards Night in May with 300 people attending. Jessica Morgenstern, chapter vice president of scholarships, served as master of ceremony, and Scholarship Committee members helped to make the presentations. Twenty-four students were recognized and 22 received scholarships totaling $264,000. Each student recipient responded to a thought-provoking question giving the audience some insight into their personalities and abilities. This was another impressive group! The chapter also contributed $25,000 to AFCEA International Education Foundation and Nancy Temple, international secretary; vice president, Human Resources; and vice president, AFCEA Educational Foundation, attended the event and accepted the contribution.
