Each year the Idaho Education Association bestows annual awards to deserving members and others who have positively impacted Idaho students and public education. The awards are presented to candidates who “have made a special and unique contribution to the cause of public education over an extended period of time, particularly over the last year.”
Due to the unfortunate cancellation of the 2020 Delegate Assembly, this year’s honorees will be presented with their awards at the 2021 Delegate Assembly, which is scheduled for April 16-17 in downtown Boise. The 2021 awards will also be presented at that time.
We recognize these very deserving 2020 IEA Award winners. Please join us in congratulating them.
More information about the IEA Awards and the nomination and selection process can be found here.
