Carrie's Corner: DEF Scholarship and UID
Dear Members,
In June 1983, The Ray Foley Memorial Youth Education Foundation was created in memory of the late National Candy Wholesalers Association (NCWA) executive vice president, Ray Foley. Each year, the Distributors Education Foundation (DEF) awards two $5,000 college scholarships to deserving candidates.
Scholarship applicants must either work for a CDA distributor member company or be the spouse, son or daughter of a CDA distributor member. All applicants must be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate or graduate program in an accredited college or university.
Scholarship Applications are now being accepted, and are due May 31. Apply today!
Also, I attended the University Of Innovative Distribution (UID) conference this week in Indianapolis to view fresh education to bring to our online and in-person offerings. I’ve experienced first-hand some compelling and relevant education for our members, so please keep an eye out for upcoming CDA education events and initiatives!
As always, I welcome your feedback, so please feel free to email carriea@cdaweb.net to reach to me directly with your ideas.
