MNEA Spring RA Award Nominations Due March 7lth

An Opportunity to Recognize Those Who Contribute to Public Education

Each year at our Spring RA we recognize recipients of the Horace Mann Friend of Education Awards. There are six award categories and each is an opportunity to recognize Missouri NEA members, community leaders and legislators who have supported our public schools. The MNEA Board makes the final determination on the winners of the awards at their March meeting. I encourage you to read the description of the awards and consider nominating members, community leaders and legislators for these prestigious awards. The information on how to nominate, as well as a list of previous recipients, can be found on pages 57-66 of your Timeline for Action  Nominations are due March 7th

Soar With the Eagles Award

As I’ve traveled around the state, I have met many new leaders who are energized and helping to move our local associations forward. Here is your chance to recognize a new leader from your local. Nominate a member whose presence and contribution of time, energy, and/or wisdom within the past year has made a difference. The recipient will be recognized at the April Representative Assembly.  Nominations must be submitted to MNEA by March 7. The nomination form can be found on page 67-68 of your Timeline for Action.
