Vermont-NEA ESP of the Year Award

Eligibility

Vermont-NEA ESP of the Year Award offers numerous awards of $1000 each.

Description

The Vermont-NEA ESP of the Year Award is in recognition of the important role of Education Support Professionals within the Association, and to honor their outstanding contributions to communities and children. The person being nominated must have been a Vermont-NEA member for at least three years, including the current year. Exceptions will be made if the Local Association is less than three years old. We encourage nominations from any ESP career family: Clerical Services, Custodial and Maintenance Services, Food Services, Health and Student Services, Paraeducators, Security Services, Skilled Trades, Technical Services, or Transportation Services. The strongest nominees are members who are highly involved in their local Association and/or volunteer for Vermont-NEA or NEA in some capacity. In general, the committee favors nominees who enhance the image of ESPs in the school, union and community. Nominees also should be good employees with a strong professional record, make a continued positive impact on the school and students, and ideally, are involved in their local community. Nominations will be accepted by submitting a simple web form. All we need is some basic information about your nominee. Nominations will be received on a rolling basis up until the end of the school year. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Vermont-NEA for more information.
