Ruta Jones

Administrative Scholarship Now Open

The Washington State Chapter of the American Public Works Association is offering a $1,000 training scholarship to honor Ruta Jones. Ruta was an active servant leader of the  APWA Washington Chapter and caring employee of the City of Wenatchee. As an administrative assistant at the City of Wenatchee for over forty years, she truly cared about and took care of those around her. Not only was Ruta a fixture at the City of Wenatchee, but she was also a pillar of the Washington Chapter and part of our APWA family. Ruta spearheaded the Chapter’s annual fall conferences for over two decades.

In Ruta’s honor, the Washington Chapter is offering this scholarship to provide the opportunity for a public works administrative or support staff member to attend a training of their choice.
