Edison State College is pleased to announce recipients of the Graduate
Academy Scholarship. The Graduate Academy is an intensive training
program designed to develop more effective directors, leaders, board
members, staff, and volunteers of non-profit organizations. This
program consists of five, day-long, workshops beginning January 16th
and concluding May 15th with the Mosaic of Community Leadership
Conference.
“We’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Graduate Academy
program,” said Chris Norman, Vice President of Institutional
Advancement. “In the past decade, more than 200 local leaders and
organizations have benefited from this exceptional local training
program. Edison State sees The Graduate Academy as part of our mission
and duty to the community to make our non-profit sector more effective.”
This year’s scholarship recipients include Jayne Smith, Shelby County

Based on the book, The Board Member's Guide, course topics include the
fundamental practices of board recruitment, planning, staffing,
budgeting, evaluation, board meetings, and community awareness. These
workshops are designed to help individuals make a difference on their
boards and in their community.
“This is a perfect fit with the college’s education and training
mission along with one of its key values which is community engagement.
It’s important for Edison to serve as a resource to our community,”
said Norman.
Sincerest gratitude is extended to the local community foundations that
have made these scholarships possible, including: The Community
Foundation of Shelby County, The Troy Foundation, The Miami County
Foundation, and The Edison Foundation.
