Conference scholarship named after industry veteran launched
Center for Growing Talent (CGT) by PMA, Karen Caplan and Jackie Caplan Wiggins announce the founding of the Frieda Rapoport Caplan Women’s Fresh Perspectives Scholarship that enable a woman in the industry to attend the Women’s Fresh Perspective Conference annually at no cost.
This year’s conference is September 12-14, 2021. The scholarship, named after the late, industry legend Frieda Rapoport Caplan, is a generous gift from Frieda’s daughters, Karen Caplan and Jackie Caplan Wiggins.
The Caplan’s influence and engagement with the Women’s Fresh Perspectives portfolio goes back to the earliest days of conference program. Frieda Rapoport Caplan spoke at the very first conference and more recently received the Women’s Catalyst Award at the Women’s Fresh Perspectives Breakfast in October 2019. Caplan passed away the following January and the annual award was renamed in her honor.
