Fostering A Diverse Attractions Industry
As part of our ongoing commitment to fostering diversity in the industry, WhiteWater has joined forces with IAAPA to launch a scholarship program dedicated to supporting individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. By sponsoring one individual to partake in the forthcoming IAAPA Attractions Institute this January, we aim to pave the way for diverse leadership in the future and invest in the next generation of industry leaders. This initiative, designed to bridge the opportunity gap, provides financial support and educational access, effectively removing financial constraints and systemic barriers. Our ultimate goal is to foster the growth and recognition of hidden talent and potential, ensuring that no one, particularly those who might otherwise be overlooked or undervalued, is hindered from reaching their full potential. The scholarship includes the registration fee for the week-long session as well as $2,000 USD towards hotel and airfare.
