National Waste & Recycling Association Women's Council

The National Waste & Recycling Association Women’s Council is pleased to announce the continuation and expansion of our partnership with the Detachable Container Association (DCA). In a significant show of support for the future leaders of the #recycling and #waste industry, DCA has generously doubled its #scholarship commitment. The Women’s Council Scholarship Program will now offer two DCA-funded scholarships, each valued at $7,500, for the 2025-2026 academic year. Learn more about this scholarship opportunity: https://lnkd.in/g3eSu9yk

Research has shown that women tend to negotiate more assertively for others, such as their employees, than they do for themselves. Join us for this session on May 29 at 1 p.m. ET as Heather Stalvey, vice president of human resources and administration at Environmental Solutions Group, discusses how we can become our own biggest advocates at every stage of our lives. Please contact Katie Evans at kevans@wasterecycling.org if you have not received an email invite for this event.

Honoring our nation's heroes on #memorialday.
