BETTY ROPER PUBLIC RELATIONS AWARD

Betty Roper lived only a short time after her arrival in Idaho in 1979.  But in that short time, she created a legacy that endures to this day.  Betty cared passionately about the members of the IEA.  Her particular passion was public relations.  The Betty Roper Public Relations Award is awarded to a local or region organization that carries on Betty’s commitment to furthering the cause of public education and the work of the association through public relations activities.
