National School Board Member
Recognition Program

Each year more than 95,000 public-spirited community members give freely of their time to participate in one of America's most honored traditions: local school board governance of public education. These public servants direct expenditures of more than $285 billion each year, oversee the work of 4.6 million individuals, and set the high standards necessary to prepare students for life in the 21st century...immense responsibilities deserving of respect and recognition.

The National School Boards Association and its Federation Members are pleased to announce a recognition program that will honor, at the national level, a select number of local school board members across the country. The National School Board Member Recognition Program is designed to recognize individuals across the United States who have demonstrated the highest commitment to public education through proven school board leadership.

The program was designed by NSBA in conjunction with the Federation member Executives Directors' NSBA Liaison Committee.
