Joyce Parsons Scholarship

Joyce Parsons Scholarship Fund

All scholarships for 2025 have been awarded

A scholarship fund was established on August 17, 2005 for Joyce Parsons, retired founder of the organizations.  Her goal was to provide funds for educating members of the organizations by participation in the local and national organizations.  

Purpose: 

The fund is to be used to provide financial assistance to members of the organization for the purpose of attending CACEO sponsored training or national conferences.

Distribution: 

This fund will be made available to any paid member of the organization, including board members.

There are no deadlines to request the fund. It will be available anytime throughout the calendar year until the fund is depleted. Any unused funds from one calendar year will roll over to the next calendar year.
