Scholarship Recipients
"AFP-GPC provides a foundational element to one's development experience. Surely you can exist, and even thrive, independently. It's not, however until you begin to share your triumphs, concerns and challenges with others in the industry that you truly begin to comprehend the important role of camaraderie and collegiality. The Chapter provides that in abundance."
