Dear WTS Community, As the Chair of the WTS Foundation, I want to take a moment to emphasize the critical importance of fundraising to support scholarships within our industry. By investing in the education and development of future leaders, we are not just providing financial assistance; we are empowering individuals to reach their potential and make meaningful contributions. Scholarships open doors for talented individuals who may otherwise face barriers to education and career advancement. They enable students to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in our industry. By building a robust pipeline of qualified professionals, we strengthen our industry for the future. However, to sustain and expand our scholarship programs, we need your support. Your contributions play a vital role in making these opportunities a reality. Together, we can make a lasting impact that resonates throughout our industry, creating a brighter future for everyone. Thank you for your continued dedication to our WTS Foundation mission, and let’s work together to secure the resources necessary to nurture the next generation of leaders. We hope to see you at the WTS Annual Conference in Toronto, Canada next week.
