Invest in the Future of CESSE

A recent CESSE Board of Directors decision now provides for the Friends of CESSE Fund to play a crucial role in providing scholarship opportunities to help CESSE members attend the CEO Meeting and ACCESSE

CESSE will provide scholarships to each meeting with the scholarship consisting of registrations for the meeting and a $1,000 stipend to be used for travel. These events provide essential professional development and networking within our community, and your contribution directly benefits individuals who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate.

 

Your support of the Friends of CESSE Fund will help to sustain these programs. Please consider a donation in an amount meaningful to you. Your support is greatly appreciated!

The Council of Engineering and Scientific Society Executives is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of US law.
