Maria Culp wanted to make her community a better place for its residents to find jobs and raise families. During her time as President and CEO of the Central PA Chamber of Commerce, she realized the importance of having an educated workforce available for employers. As a founding member of the PA Early Learning Investment Commission, her goal was to provide more learning opportunities for young children. Maria hoped to accomplish this by advocating for better training and education for early childhood caregivers and teachers. Her family believes she would have also advocated for higher pay for these same individuals to remain in this important career field. It was out of this mission that her family established the Maria Evitts-Culp Scholarship Fund after her passing. The Fund supports students at Shikellamy High School who are pursuing a career in early childhood development.
