PCMA Heartland Chapter

B Waldo Scholarship - Call for Nominations!

The PCMA Heartland Chapter recognizes an exceptional young professional from the business events industry residing within the boundaries of the chapter. The Belinda “B” Waldo Memorial Scholarship for Service Award awards the winner with a one-year membership to PCMA and all Heartland Chapter events in 2026. In exchange, the winner agrees to volunteer their time on one committee during the 2026 calendar year and be present at a minimum of two chapter events to further their involvement in PCMA. Nominees must have 5 years or less professional years in the industry.
B Waldo was a service warrior for the Heartland Chapter for over 20 years serving in many volunteer roles including Program Chair, Community Service Chair, Board Member and eventually Chapter President in 2006. For many years, she spearheaded the planning of the annual Awards, Auction and Board Installation Banquet and led the Past-Presidents’ Task Force when needed. She served the chapter with a passion for our industry, a loyalty to PCMA and a love for mentoring young professionals. We honor her memory with this scholarship.
Self-nominations are accepted but also encourage colleagues, peers and supervisors to nominate qualified (5 years or less in the industry) and deserving individuals. The award is open to individual business event organizers or business events suppliers.
