DALE AND LYNN BENTLEY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP 

About the Dale and Lynn Bentley Memorial Scholarship: Dale Bentley received his Bachelor of Technology Degree in 1976 from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He went on to receive his MBA in 1981 from Xavier University and became a Professional Engineer in 1980. He was the former President of Peterson and Matz, Inc., a Manufacturers’ Rep firm dealing exclusively with water and wastewater treatment equipment processes. He was actively involved with MWEA and AWWA from being on committees, attending and exhibiting at events both at the State and National level. He also served as the Association Director for the MWEA from 1992 thru 1195. Along with his wife Lynn’s encouragement, they attended many of the social activities that go on behind the scenes at different conferences and trade shows that his company helped sponsor.
