The Dainel B. Delaney Memorial Scholarship drawing was held at the NABET-CWA Local 41 office Friday, May 9th. Karen Delaney Groves, daughter of Dan Delaney, was present to do the drawing with NABET-CWA Local 41 President Stephen Griswold.
Dan Delaney was the president of Local 41 for more than 25 years and a strong advocate for both working people and higher education. I know Dan would be very happy Local 41 continues to support the aspirations of our members and their children in issuing this annual scholarship award.
The recipient of this year's award is Sofia Flynn. Sofia is the daughter of Local 41 member Ed Flynn. Ms. Flynn is attending Illinois Wesleyan University. On behalf of the Dan Delaney family, and NABET-CWA Local 41, thanks to all who applied for the scholarship.
Congratulations to Sofia!

AAJA Chicago-Rose Tibayan Scholarship Fund
Help raise $60,000 to support the next generation of journalists!
Rose Tibayan was an award-winning broadcast journalist and devoted member of the Asian American Journalists Association, who always sought to help younger journalists grow and find success. Rose even wrote the book on the topic: “The Resume Tape Book,” a 700-page job-hunting guide for broadcast media that has helped countless people build their careers. And Rose knew the ropes, climbing the career ladder from TV markets in Guam, to Fort Myers, New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Milwaukee before settling down in Chicago, with her husband, former NABET-CWA Local 41 President, Don Villar.
Rose passed away in 2024 after a 14-month battle with cancer, but her legacy as a mentor and supporter of young AAPI journalists and AAJA will continue with the Rose Tibayan Scholarship Fund.
Your generous gift to AAJA's fundraising drive will help build an endowment to provide scholarships to support students and early-career journalists as they navigate a difficult industry. AAJA has long supported scholarships for student journalists, and the Rose Tibayan Scholarship Fund will expand those programs to build a new generation of journalists with Rose’s dedication to reporting and community service.
