Women in Leadership Committee

The WIL Educational Fund was started with seed money from Dr. Rosemarie Scolaro Moser with a challenge to others to match her contribution. The Educational Fund is used to defray the costs of obtaining prominent speakers for WIL Events and/or assist with their travel expenses.
 
If you would like to contribute to either the Kaplan Scholarship or Educational WIL funds, please click here to download and complete the form and return it to the NAN Office. WIL would like to express our gratitude to those who have already contributed to these two funds. The generosity and support of NAN members has been very heartwarming and we are very grateful. Such support will enable us to continue our mission of educating, encouraging, and mentoring female neuropsychologists to become leaders within NAN and in the field.
