The Patricia M. Thornton Education Grant Program (PMT) is offered to Local Chapters who provide training to their members. The Grant was named to honor and memorialize Patricia Thornton, who gave so much to our members for over 50 years. She served in many roles including California Chapter President, and most recently as CWC Executive Office Manager and Cali-lope Newsletter Editor. Pat Thornton was dedicated to public service, promoting professional development and giving back to her colleagues.
