PATA Foundation sponsored Dileep Mudadeniya who works at Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority to attend this year’s Executive Development Institute for Tourism (EDIT) programme at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, Hawaii on 11-22 July. The Foundation scholarship of US$5,000 covers registration/tuition fees and accommodation costs.

The Foundation is also grateful to the support of the Jerome A. Keller Memorial Fund in sponsoring a further place at EDIT for Diwakar Bikram Rana, Senior Manager, Tourism Marketing & Promotion at the Nepal Tourism Board. The Foundation would like to express special thanks to Gloria Henderson (middle in picture) for continuing her sponsorship for over 20 years.

It has been my pleasure to support the Annual EDIT Program at the UH TIM School by offering the "Jerome A Keller Scholarship Grant" to an applicant from the Asia/Pacific. The recipient is from a PATA member organisation, specialising in Marketing and Public Relations. I have been doing this this for over 20 years, which is my way of giving back to an industry that has been so good to me for the past 37 years. By using the PATA Foundation through education support, I hope to continue my contribution to help those who otherwise could not attend the EDIT Program. Henderson said.
