Two Elgin Public Board Members Receive Award From NASB

Elgin Public School had two board members that were recently recognized by the Nebraska Association of School Boards.

The NASB Board of Directors and staff, recognized the 2015 Award of Achievement recipients during the Norfolk Region Meeting on Wednesday, September 23, 2015.

NASB is a private, nonprofit organization that serves the needs of Nebraska public school districts and Educational Service Unit board members.  Board Members from across the state may participate in board development training throughout the year by attending workshops and conferences to help strengthen their role in governance, legislative advocacy, and stewardship of district resources in support of student achievement.

In recognition of their volunteer time and commitment to education, the Association commends continued participation and growth in knowledge and best practice governance. Through the Awards of Achievement program board members, Doug Jones and Robert Hoefer were recognized at the meeting for their outstanding excellence. Jones received a Level 1 award and Hoefer received a Level II award.

Board members are awarded for their participation in NASB Services and Programs as well as attendance at NASB workshops and events. Just as board members have made a commitment to provide a quality education for students in their districts, NASB strives to provide quality resources and opportunities for its members.  There are ten total levels of achievement that carry over year to year.
