The Friend of The Council Award was created in 1996 and is presented at our Winter Institute & Lobby Day every year. Nominations are provided by members or Council staff and are due in January to be included in the selection process. A selected individual must be:
- Actively involved in education and supportive of The Council's mission. Superintendents and Assistant Superintendent members of NYSCOSS are not eligible for this award.
- Recognized by educational leaders as a person who contributes time to improving public education.
If you are interested in nominating an individual for the 2021 award, send your nomination to Deidre Hungerford by January 15, 2021. Candidates can be nominated with this nomination form or with an emailed letter.
The Distinguished Service Committee, composed of current Council presidents and past presidents who are active superintendents, screen all nominations for selection of one candidate. Special thanks to Signature Partner BBS Architects, Landscape Architects & Engineers for their sponsorship of this year's award.
