Congratulations to Elaina Hall on receiving the Troop Foundation Scholarship and the Ted & Clara Gentry Memorial Scholarship. Elaina will be attending Arkansas Tech University this fall and plans on majoring in business. The Troop scholarship is named in honor of Mr. William "Bill" Throop, who served the AWEA in numerous capacities during his career until his death during his term as WEF Director for Arkansas. The Ted and Clara Gentry Memorial Scholarship provides financial assistance for college to Arkansas residents whose parents work for a water or wastewater utility.
Congratulations also to Misty Barron on being awarded the James A. Bailey Memorial Scholarship for Environmental Science Educator of the Year! This honor is awarded to an Arkansan who strives to inspire fellow Arkansans, young and old, with enthusiasm and desire to protect the state's water environment, understand environmental issues and further environmental education. Misty is the lead science teacher at Russellville High School. She brings her AP Environmental Science classes to City Corporation each year for a tour and education opportunity for her students. We are super proud for you both to represent our community and City Corporation!
