DMA Dollars for Scholars
Check out the exciting changes to this great program.
1. Program Expanded: Credits are now
immediately available for use to attend your state chapter meetings
in addition to the Annual Meeting. This provides even more incentive
for all of us to participate and benefit.
2. Product Availability: Sysco Corporate
and US Foodservice have become "distributor partners" in
this program. They will be communicating this with their local branches
who, in turn, will publish a list of the eligible products which they
carry in stock, coded with their product code numbers and offer to
provide tracking reports to all DMA members who request them.
3. New Sponsors: Proctor & Gamble's
Folgers coffee and ientree.com are two new sponsors.
