Student Scholarship Auction at the Fall ’24 Conference - Back by Popular Demand

By Steve Butler, FAICP

A Student Scholarship Auction event will be held this fall at the APA WA Chapter’s 2024 Conference in Bellevue. This fundraising event will benefit students at Washington's three Planning Advisory Board-accredited Planning schools:

1. Eastern Washington University’s undergraduate and graduate planning program
2. University of Washington’s graduate planning program
3. Western Washington University’s undergraduate program

The Student Scholarship Auction event will take place during the conference’s Thursday luncheon on October 17. More details will be included in the next Chapter newsletter.

Want to Help?

The Student Scholarship Auction Committee members are already hard at work, and we need your help to find two or three more auction items. We are particularly looking for “Experiences” (such as a stay at a vacation home, great seats at a major sporting event, a trip on your boat, or an “insider’s tour” of your community). Please let us know if you, or someone you know, has something that could be donated.

The Committee is also looking for a few more volunteers to help us organize this important event, including helping out during the actual event itself. For more information about auction-related volunteer opportunities, please contact the Auction Committee co-chairs: Steve Butler ([email protected]) and Kirk Rappe ([email protected]).

In the meantime, mark your calendars now and plan to attend the Student Scholarship Auction event on October 17th in Bellevue, WA.
