DPHA is Now Accepting Applications for the Council of Fellows' Memorial Scholarship Honoring Alberto Comini

The DPHA Council of Fellows established its Memorial Scholarship in 2008 with two primary goals. The first was to honor the memory of an industry leader and the second was to provide grants to the children and grandchildren of any employee working at a DPHA dealer, manufacturer, representative agency or professional organization.
