The Association of Defense Communities, alongside partner Sourcewell, is introducing an opportunity for first-time ADC event attendees to receive financial assistance to attend ADC50, the Summit and Anniversary Celebration taking place May 11-13 in Washington, D.C.
The ADC50 Community Scholarship aims to bring in new voices and rising leaders in the defense communities.
“Together, ADC and Sourcewell are expanding access to this milestone event, ensuring that emerging professionals and fresh perspectives are part of the conversation shaping the future,” ADC says on the submission site. “By investing directly in first‑time attendees, we’re strengthening the next generation of defense community leadership—fueling new ideas, elevating unique voices, and preparing our field for the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
