Phil Noble Scholarship Fund for Nonprofit Leadership

The Phil Noble Scholarship Fund for Nonprofit Leadership is named for the late Phil Noble, beloved servant of the community, Bellevue City Council member, and champion for human services and those less fortunate. His example of leadership inspires all who work in the community, and the AEA will remember Phil for his dedication and values.

The AEA is invested in the development of leadership in the not-for-profit sector in our Eastside community. As part of this investment, the AEA has an annual scholarship budget which is used to award funding to AEA member agency staff to attend trainings that specifically focus on leadership.
