The Scholarship Committee is excited to bring back the Silent Auction during the Conference Reception at the 2026 Annual Conference in Vancouver!

Our goal is bold: raise $9,000 to support scholarships to students enrolled in accredited planning programs at the University of Washington–Seattle, Western Washington University, and Eastern Washington University.

The Silent Auction will occur on Thursday, October 8, at the Conference Reception in the Heritage Ballroom at the Hilton Hotel (conference site). 

Bring your credit card (this is a cashless event), grab a FREE beverage, mingle with colleagues, and come support students by bidding enthusiastically on items to fund scholarships for future leaders in planning!!!

We expect more than 30+ items available, all generously donated by companies, individuals, and APA WA sections. If you see something you MUST have, you can "buy it now" at the start of the reception/silent auction.

You can also donate directly to the scholarships through the "donate-a-fund" tab on the left side of this webpage.

Thank you! We look forward to seeing you soon!

If you hwould like to donate items for the auction please submit via this form.

For any questions, please contact Kristen Holdsworth (kholdsworth@kentwa.gov).
