Dave Galle Memorial Scholarship

Description

Established by friends, colleagues and family to honor the memory of Dave Galle and his work in our community. Dave was a man of quiet strength and integrity, who treated others with respect and compassion. He also understood the value of education and its ability to improve quality of life. As executive director of the Community Education Coalition, Dave championed efforts to increase availability of quality education in our region, from pre-K through the postsecondary level. His greatest wish was to ensure that students in our region would have the opportunity to pursue education that could lead to well-paying employment, regardless of income, race or background.
