The Alberta Teachers’ Association has two new awards in its arsenal.
Earlier this fall, Provincial Executive Council approved the creation of the President’s Award of Merit, which may be awarded to an individual, group of individuals or organization for meritorious service to public education. The award will be issued at the discretion of the Association’s sitting president, who may propose the awarding of up to two awards at any time during the course of a single two-year term of office.
The Association has also created the new Association Award of Merit, also to be awarded to an individual, group of individuals or organization for meritorious service to public education. The granting of this award will be initiated by a motion of Provincial Executive Council.
The new awards do not affect the Association’s criteria for its Public Education Award and honorary membership, which will continue as usual. ❚
