Happy 2009!
Central Virginia Chapter President's Message
The IIA Central Virginia Chapter entered into an endowment agreement with the VCU School of Business Foundation, and presented a check for $20,000 from its Theron Bell Memorial Scholarship Fund to the Dean of the School of Business of Virginia Commonwealth University at a ceremony held at The Commonwealth Club on 9/30/2007. Result: This created a $1,000 scholarship in its first year, and more in future years. Below are several pictures from the presentation ceremony. Theron Bell was a long-time chapter member, and Past-President, who was killed following a chapter meeting, by someone who ran a red light while fleeing police. The original Theron Bell Fund was established by the chapter almost 25 years ago.
As of 2009, you may now directly contribute to this tax deductible scholarship fund through Google Checkout. Select the from the pull-down options at the bottom of this page.
