Description

Established by the Central Arizona Chapter of the National Forum for Black Public Administrators to award scholarships valued up to $5,000 to future Black public administrators. The scholarship is named in honor of Jacques Avent, one of NFBPA's original founders. Jacques had a long distinguished public service career. He was the first African American to hold a senior executive position, serving as executive assistant to the City Council and Deputy City Manager with the city of Phoenix, Arizona. Through his trailblazing efforts, he was instrumental in promoting and increasing the number of African Americans in executive and middle management positions throughout the city. More importantly, Jacques served as a mentor and confidant to many CAC-NFBPA members and other city employees.
