History & Formation

• Krista Davis Tonn, at age 27, was one of the founding members of Metropolitan Senior Network, when established in 2001. She served on the first Board of Directors and many years following; as well as represented the MSN core principles: Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Engagement in every aspect of her life. She was a tireless volunteer with an uncanny ability to organize, encourage, and inspire others to join her endeavors. An award in her honor was established in 2009; and that award was converted to an annual scholarship program starting in the Spring of 2022. MSN’s goal is to support and promote individuals pursuing a career that compliments the senior industry, one of Krista’s demonstrated passions.

MSN will be associated with Portland Community College for this scholarship program.

All PCC scholarships are open to anyone regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, age, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by federal, state or local law in any area, activity or operation of the college.
