MINK Regional Scholarships

MINK Region Creates Roxanne Conrad Scholarship

In March 2006, NAEP members were saddened to learn of the sudden death of long-time colleague Roxanne Conrad, Director of Purchasing at University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.  Roxanne was an active member of the MINK Region, serving five years on the Executive Committee and as regional president in 1992.  She chaired the first MINK Membership Participation Committee and served on the Nominating Committee.  Roxanne also served on national committees of membership and nominations.   Roxanne was the designer of the MINK Region logo.

At the recent MINK Regional meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, it was announced that $1,060 had been donated to create a scholarship in honor and memory of Roxanne Conrad.  Roxanne was a mentor to many, as well as a great friend and colleague within her NAEP family. The Roxanne Conrad Scholarship is a fitting tribute to one who gave so much to our organization and its members.

With this new scholarship, MINK members now have a third opportunity to receive funding to attend a MINK or NAEP educational program.
