Nominations are now being accepted for the NJSBA’s 2021-2022 Board Member of the Year Award. Each year, New Jersey’s local board of education members make significant contributions to the public schools of their communities. NJSBA is currently seeking nominees for its 17th Annual Board Member of the Year Award, which recognizes a local school board member whose work exemplifies commitment not only to the children of his or her community, but also to public education throughout the state of New Jersey. You are encouraged to nominate a board member whom you believe has been an outstanding trustee of public education. Nominations can be submitted by fellow board of education members, district administrators, staff, and members of the community. NJSBA established the Board Member of the Year award in 2004 to honor an individual board member for exemplary leadership, dedication to his or her professional development,  participation in efforts to advance education governance at the local, county and state levels, and strong commitment to the children of New Jersey. Nominees must have five consecutive years of experience as a board of education member and must hold the NJSBA Certified Board Member designation. NJSBA officers are not eligible to nominate or be nominated for this award. The winner will be recognized at NJSBA’s Virtual Workshop 2021. Deadline for receipt of nominations is 4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, 2021. For more information and a nomination form, click here.
