The Maggie Marcopul Prevention
Specialist Scholarship
PCB is pleased to announce the
Maggie Marcopul Prevention Specialist Scholarship. This
scholarship was established in loving memory of 19 year PCB
Board Member, Maggie Marcopul, CPS, who died on May 1, 2008.
Maggie served as the first female President of the Board of
Directors, was Chair of the PCB Ethics Committee for many years,
and represented prevention specialists on the board. We hope,
in this small way, to keep Maggie’s memory alive with the
establishment of this scholarship to a deserving prevention
specialist.
The Pennsylvania Certification Board will award a
scholarship every three years to a deserving prevention specialist
working in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Who is eligible to submit a nomination:
Employers and professionals in the field may nominate.
Self-nominations are also acceptable.
How to submit a nomination:
Send a statement from the employer supporting the nomination and a
letter from the nominee explaining why they are worthy of the
scholarship and their commitment to the prevention field. Send all
requested correspondence to PCB, 298 S. Progress Ave., Harrisburg,
PA 17109.
When to submit a nomination:
Nominations are open now through June 30, 2009.
How is the scholarship recipient selected?
A small group consisting of one representative each from CPA and
PPDA, the BDAP Prevention Director and three members of the PCB
Board of Directors who have an interest in prevention will review
nominations. The PCB Board of Directors will select the final
recipient of the scholarship.
