We have the Howard Bell Award, which has been traditionally given as more of a “lifetime achievement” award, often to administrators, authors, and other leaders in the field. Now, here is an award for the “Naturalist on the trail.” For someone still teaching and loving it, who has contributed to the success of EE in the state and leads by example. George Stratman came up with the idea, we discussed it at board meetings and liked it, and decided to get the ball rolling by choosing the first people to receive the award. Both Southern and Northern California recipients are truly deserving of this honor, as folks who have helped keep AEOE going over the years while still teaching and retaining the joy inherent in our jobs. Next year it could be someone on YOUR staff!
Nominations accepted all year, award presented at the section fall conference. The recipient must be an active member of AEOE and attend the Fall Conference. Nominate someone who inpires YOU - Click Here!
